Abstarct: This experiment was conducted in order to investigate the effect of superabsorbent polymer and mycorrhizal fungus (Glomus intraradices) on the yield and yield components of Moghan variety 704 corn under low irrigation conditions in Jajarm in the form of a factorial split plot and in the form of a randomized complete block design with 3 replications in the crop year 2022. The experimental treatments include the low irrigation treatment that was applied using the irrigation cycle at three levels: 7 (control), 12 and 17 days of the irrigation cycle as the main factor and mycorrhizal fungus treatment at two levels (without use and use of mycorrhizal fungus Glomus intraradices) and Three levels of superabsorbent: 0, 100 and 200 kg/ha were used as secondary factors, which were factorially divided in the main plot. The results showed that the effect of superabsorbent, mycorrhizal fungus and irrigation cycle was significant in most of the studied traits. Comparison of average data showed the highest plant height (238.57 cm), stem diameter (33.67 cm), flag leaf length (15.33 cm), seed yield (12.13 tons per hectare), biological yield (80. 28 tons per hectare), the weight of a thousand seeds (333.05 grams), the number of seeds per ear (746.33), the number of seeds per row (48.16) and the number of rows per ear (16.27) during mycorrhiza consumption and the application of 200 kg/ha of super absorbent polymer was achieved with 7 days of irrigation. Mean while, the largest amount of cob diameter (49.88 mm) was assigned to mycorrhizal fungus treatment and 200 kg/ha of super absorbent polymer consumption. 1000 seed weight, biological yield had significant differences in all treatments, and seed yield was affected by the treatments of irrigation distance, mycorrhizal fungus and the use of super absorbent. The amount of soluble carbohydrates in the leaf and the amount of proline were affected by different levels of irrigation cycle and application of mycorrhizal fungus and super absorbent polymer as well as the interaction between them and became significant. Also, the results of analysis of variance showed that the effect of irrigation distance, mycorrhizal fungus and superabsorbent polymer on seed potassium trait, the effect of mycorrhizal fungus on seed nitrogen, and the effect of irrigation distance and superabsorbent polymer on seed oil percentage were significant. In general, the results of this experiment showed that by increasing the amount of moisture around the plant, the positive effect of the mycorrhizal fungus increases and increases the efficiency of corn yield. It was also found that the higher the amount of superabsorbent in the soil and the shorter the irrigation intervals, the higher the performance per unit area.
