Effects of Leonardite and Mycorrhiza on Plant Growth and Mineral Nutrition in Pepper Plant

Abstract

This study aimed to investigate effects of leonardite and mycorrhiza on pepper growth and mineral concentration. Therefore, 0, 1 and 2 g pot-1 mycorrhiza and 0, 5, 10, 20 g pot-1 leonardite levels were applied into pots with 2 kg soil. Pepper plants dry weights and nutrient concentrations (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Cu ve Mn) were determined in greenhouse conditions. Leonardite application increased plant growth when compared to the control plants. Mycorrhiza application did not effect on plant growth; however, it increased some of the plant nutrients. According to the study, when leonardite and mycorrhiza applied plants were compared, the highest level (2 g pot-1) of mycorrhiza aplication and the highest level (20 g pot-1) of leonardite applied plants had more N, P, Ca and Zn concentrations.
