Investigation of the response of sweet cherries to root mycorrhisation with biologics for sustainable horticulture development

Sustainable horticulture development is a priority area considering climate change, especially in the context of reduced water supply. The search for ways to regulate resistance fruit trees stressors an urgent issue world community. use beneficial microorganisms inoculate plant roots helps reduce synthetic substances and alternative sustainable horticulture. purpose study identify specific features effect root inoculation by mycorrhizal fungi on reaction sweet cherries develop strategies managing production products. was conducted during 2018- 2020 cherry orchard southern steppe subzone Ukraine. Such research methods as field, laboratory, biochemical, physiological, statistical were used. regularities influence total moisture content water-holding capacity leaves examined. In first year studies endomycorrhizal inoculation, these indicators higher compared control group. positive endo-ectomycorrhiza waterholding elucidated. leaf surface green pigments determined one main photosynthetic potential crop. ratio chlorophylls (a/b) established. parameters nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium determined. increases adaptive properties stressful factors, namely, arid conditions south results can be used producers improve climate-optimised technologies, which will substantially risks possible economic losses, preserve biodiversity
