Abstract: This study aims to determine how effective the application of ameliorants containing mycorrhiza is in increasing the yield and uptake of nitrogen and phosphorus of sweet corn plants. Laboratorium Mikrobiologi dan Laboratorium Fisika dan Kimia Tanah Fakultas Pertanian Universitas Mataram menjadi lokasi percobaan yang dilaksanakan di Moncok Karya, Kecamatan Ampenan, Kota Mataram. Percobaan menggunakan rancangan acak kelompok dengan lima perlakuan amelioran sebagai berikut: PC yang merupakan kombinasi arang sekam padi, kompos, kotoran sapi, dan mikoriza (1:1:1:1); PA yaitu arang sekam padi ditambah mikoriza; PK yaitu kompos ditambah mikoriza; PS yaitu kotoran sapi ditambah mikoriza. The resulting research shows that plant yield, NP uptake, and mycorrhiza development are all effectively increased by applying a mixed ameliorant consisting of cow dung, compost, rice husk charcoal, and mycorrhiza (1:1:1:1). The combination of rice husk charcoal, mycorrhiza, compost, and cow manure produces a mixed ameliorant composition that effectively promotes the highest amount of sweet corn yield.
