A two-staged experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of indigenous and predefined mycorrhizae inoculation on sour orange (Citrus aurantium L.) growth under saline soil conditions. In first stage, indigenous mycorrhizae that existed in the rhizosphere of Mediterranean halophytic plants propagated by using a trap culture method. Trifolium sp. was used as the host plant. In the second stage, the effects of propagated indigenous mycorrhizae and predefined morphological species (Glomus clarum, G. caledonium and G. mosseae) on citrus plant growth were evaluated with high levels of salt (2000 μmhos/cm NaCl) under greenhouse conditions. These species are produced in the method of grafting on a regular basis exists Cukurova University. Andesitic tuff: soil: compost (6:3:1) mixture were used as growth media. Shoot and root dry matter, root infections, spore production, and concentrations of N, P, K, Zn, Mn and Cu in plant tissues were analyzed. The results demonstrated that indigenous mycorrhizae, especially spores extracted from the rhizospheres of Euphorbia paralias and Ambrosia maritima, had a significant effect on citrus growth and nutrient uptake. Citrus plants inoculated with G. clarum and G. caledonium grew more efficiently than those inoculated with G. mosseae.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
