background: arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (amf) have the potential to optimize the rhizospheric soil characteristics considerably thereby affecting plant growth. objectives: the aim is to investigate the effects of fungi inoculation (glomus intraradices) on morphological, physiological and phytochemical traits of rosemary (rosemarinus officinalis l.) under salt stress. methods: a factorial exper...

this experiment was conducted in 2012 at the research field of alborz research station, research institute of forests and rangelands, karaj, iran, to study the effect of chemical and biological fertilizers on sage (salvia officinalis l.) and replacing biofertilizers instead of high doses of chemical fertilizers. the experiment was conducted in factorial in the form of a randomized complete bloc...

abstract plants are exposed to stressful environmental conditions in the process of growth and development. one of the most important stresses is the salt stress which can limit the plant’s growth and yield. plants symbiosis with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in salt conditions can affect the plant’s yield as well as growth parameters. the plant’s growth in salt stressful conditions might be red...

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...

background and objectives: one of the most important limiting factors of crop growth in the arid and semi-arid regions, is water deficit stress. mycorrhizal fungi are one of the most important microorganisms in the rhizosphere. the effects of these fungi apply via changes on some of the characteristics of roots and nutrient uptake in host plants in drought conditions. however, symbiotic mycorrh...

the effect of seed inoculation by phosphate solubilizing microorganisms on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of maize (zea mays l. sc. 704) was studied in a field experiment. this experiment was conducted in meshkin abad experimental station during 2005. the experiment design consisted of four randomized complete blocks in a split-factorial arrangement. the main-plots regarding simulating water...

A survey of the natural mycorrhizal potential has been carried out in a representative area of a desertified semiarid ecosystem in the southeast of Spain. Many indigenous plants from the field site were mycorrhizal, including the dominant Anthyllis cytisoides, which had high levels of colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). Low numbers of AMF spores were present in the soil, althoug...
