in order to investigate the effect of mycorrhizal fungi and phosphorus fertilizer on concentration of leaf nutrients and photosynthetic pigments of bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) in condition of irrigation with saline water, an experiment was conducted based on completely randomized design with three replications in greenhouse of bahonar university of kerman, iran during 2010. the studied factors...

To study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on growth and essential oil content of lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill.), the present work was conducted in 2012-2013 at the experimental field of Alborz Research Station of the Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands, Karaj, Iran. The experiment was conducted in factorial in the form of a randomized complete block design wit...

the most important limiting factor for mass production of mycorrhizal fungi inoculums and subsequently their use in arable soil is obligate nature of this symbiosis. to overcome this problem, several methods such as hydroponic ,aeroponic, and root organ culture have been proposed for spore production of these fungi. each of these methods has several capabilities and limiting factors.  the goal ...

Application to the soil of the insecticide dimethoate had no effect on the growth of soybean colonized by the arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungus Glomus mosseae and by the indigenous AM fungus. The application of the recommended concentration of dimethoate decreased the percentage of colonization of soybean by the indigenous AM population, but no significant effect was observed on the colonizati...

Salinization has led to the deterioration of ecological environment, affected growth plants, and hindered development agriculture forestry. Arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi, as important soil microorganisms, play significant physiological roles in promoting plant nutrient absorption improving structure. Puccinellia tenuiflora (Turcz.) Scribn. et Merr. Songnen saline-alkaline grassland was sele...
