Objective: This study conducted to determine the effects of mycorrhiza (Glomus fasciculatum) application on plant growth, some physiological parameters (relative water content, membrane permeability, content of proline, chlorophyll and carotenoid) and leaves within antioxidative enzyme activities (Superoxid dismutase-SOD, catalase-CAT, peroxidase-POX) of the kapya type pepper (Capsicum annuum L. cv Aydemir F1) seedling under salty conditions in climate cabinet.
Material and Methods: In experiment, seedlings were planted to the soil in 1.0 lt pots, mycorrhiza was applied together with seedling planting and 50 mM NaCl was applied to pepper at 10 day after planting. After 40 days of NaCl application, mycorrhizal colonization rate of plant roots plant growth, some physiological parameters and leaves within antioxidative enzyme activities were determined.
Results: 50 mM salt level negatively affected all measured parameters compareted control. In salt applied parcels, mycorrhiza application increased plant growth, leaf relative water content, protection of photosynthetic pigment, decreased proline amount. Antioxidant enzymes activities decreased in the salt and mycorrhiza-treated plants very effectively compared to salt plants. The all effects was clearer in 2g Mycorrhiza application of pot (TM2) than 1 g Mycorrhiza of pot (TM1) in salt parcels.
Conclusion: The application of glomus fasciculatum mycorrhiza in capia-type pepper cultivation under moderate salt conditions may be a good alternative to reduce the effects of salt.
