Field experiment was carried out at Research Station of the Faculty of Agriculture,
Muthanna University, Iraq, during 2014/2015 season, to study the effect of adding
NPK, biofertilizers Bacillus Subtilis and Glomus Mosseae on the growth and
yield
of maize (Zea may L.). The treatments were i.e control (zero: no vaccine),
biofertilizers Bacillus subtilis treatments, Glomus mosseae, both biofertilizers (F0,
F1, F2 and F3), respectively, Three levels of NPK liquid fertilizer i.e. 0, 5000, 7500
mg )C0, C1, and C2 respectively). The experiment design was RCBD with three
replications arranged according to split plot.
The effect mycorhizal fungi on tomato wilt disease caused by Fusarium oxysporum
was studied. The results showed that % of disease incidence reduced in treatment whit
mycorrhizal fungi . % of disease incidence reached to 33% when plants infected wit
h
mycorrhizae and Fusarium wilt compared to plants infected with Fusarium wilt just
where% of disease incidence reached to 70% .The results showed a sighificant increased in
plant height ,leaf number , fresh and dry matter of shoot and root in treated plants with
mycorrhiza and Fusarium wilt compared whit treated plants with Fusarium wilt.The
increase in plant height reached 24.13% ,16.93% in leaf number,36.13% in wet weight of
shoot ,48.14 in wet weight of root,30.37% in dry weight of shoot and 29.18% in dry
weight of root in treated plants with mycorrhiza and Fusarium wilt.
The objective of this study is to identify some species of mycorrhizal fungi
coexisting with tomato roots in the Syrian coast. Samples were collected from five sites in
two different regions: Lattakia (sites: Siano and ALbrjan) and Tartous (sites:
Majdalon
Elbahr, Mayaar Shaker and Hrysoon). Four samples of soil and tomato roots were
collected from each site and mixed together to form a composite sample/site.
Morphological characterization of isolated fungi was based on universally adopted
taxonomic keys, and on the classification keys approved by the Plant Protection Research
Institute of Iran. Six types of mycorrhizal fungi belonging to 5 species were identified in
the different sites. Paraglomus laccaltum was present in one site (Siano), Septoglomus
constrictum was isolated from 2 sites (Mayaar Shaker and Majdalon Elbahr),
Claroideoglomus etunicatum was also isolated from 2 sites (Mayaar Shaker and Siano),
Simiglomus hoi was present in 3 sites (Siano, Majdalon Elbahr and ALbrjan), Glomus
fasciculatum was present in four sites (Siano, Mayaar Shaker, ALbrjan and Hrysoon) and
Glomus clarum was present in four sites (Hrysoon, Siano, Mayaar Shaker, and Majdalon
Elbahr).
The influence of vesicular - arbuscular Mycorrhiza fungi (VAM) on
symbiotic fixation of N٢ in alfalfa plants has been observed. Beneficial effects of
VAM plants in saline soil are of great interest. The aim of this work was to
study the effect of
VAM or phosphorous fertilization on alfalfa (Medicago
sativa L.) yields, number of nodules and N٢ fixation by N١٥ isotope dilution at
different salinity levels.
A pots experiment was carried out using two soil types (clay loam and sand
soil) to study the interaction between VA-mycorrhizal (My) and some soil fungi
under the effect of rock phosphat on growth of onion plant.
The interaction between mycorrhiz
al (My) and other soil fungi increased
the fresh weight of root in comparison with mycorrhizal (My) alone, however
the differences were not significant except for (Saccharomyces+Mycorrhiza)
(Sac+My) similar results were obtained in sandy loam soil.
The percentage of root colonization on the growth of onion plant was not
effected by the interaction between mycorrhiza (My) and other osil fungi
(Actinomucor, Aspergillus, Penicillium, Saccharomyces) (Act, Asp, P, Sac). This
value, however was high in the second harvest in treatment mycorrhiza (My)
and (My+Sac) (My+Act) The VAM- fungus alone and their interaction with
other soil fungi increased the plant growth.
