Effect of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi (AMF) on Growth and Nutrient Uptake of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) Under Water Stress
Abstract
This study was carried out to determination effect of mycorrhiza to yield and yield component of lettuce (Lactuca sativa) under water stress condition. Water levels of 100 % and 50 % and Glomus mycorrhiza were applied on lettuce at the non-heat greenhouse of GAP Agricultural Research Institute. Canopy diameter, head weight, head diameter, head length, marketable leaves number, marketable leaves weight, unmarketable leaves weight, total leaves numbers, root collar diameter, root width and root length were measurement and also some micro and macro nutrient were investigated. Spore and infection rate at the root zone were determined. As a result the full irrigation effected as positively to the yield and yield component of lettuce, with more irrigation caused N increasing and the highest Fe content was determined at the applied mycorrhiza and at the full irrigation parcel. The highest spoore numbers (86.67) and rate (56.67 %) of root zone were determined at the 50 % irrigation level.
