The Effect of Mycorrhiza Fungi and Various Mineral Fertilizer Levels on the Growth, Yield, and Nutritional Value of Sweet Pepper (Capsicum annuum L.)

Mycorrhizal fungi can increase the effectiveness of a mineral fertilizer top dressing, positively affecting sweet pepper yield and quality. For this reason, an experiment was carried out between 2014 2016 to study effect dressing doses inoculation root system with mycorrhizal on growth content nutrients macro- microelements in fruits. Root Arbuscular Fungi (AMF) were used as experimental factors following combinations: (1) mycorrhization: control (without AMF); AMF applied plant zone during seedling production; after seedlings transferred pots; (2) doses: basic dose (100%); 50% dose; 25% dose. The fruits harvested physiological maturity. resulted high yields good In particular, production affected biometric characteristics, thickest pericarp largest mass. units AMF, reduction by 75% did not cause statistically significant decrease peppers result deterioration characteristics plants or biological value Despite 75%, contributed accumulation similar amounts phosphorus potassium, calcium, magnesium. A amount sodium noted roots when pots. To summarize, application is recommended because it has positive its unit mycorrhiza, lower fertilizers
