Zea mays L. var. Canteño, is used as a natural pigment in the food and beverage industry; as well as being the second maize variety on Peru's export list; so its cultivation is being promoted in several regions of the country. The arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus (HMA) Glomus intraradices is used in agriculture as an efficient alternative to improve the growth of plants, as well as to increase their tolerance to abiotic stress conditions, such as salinity. In this work, it was proposed to evaluate the growth of Zea mays L. var. Canteño inoculated with Glomus intraradices Schenk & Smith and subjected to saline stress; For which plants of 15 days of age were inoculated with Glomus and subjected to concentrations of 0, 25, 50 and 100 mM of NaCl for 45 days. The length of the aerial part of the plant and of the leaf blade was measured; As well as the number of leaves. It was found that in pla...
