Mikoriza Konusunda Türkiye’de Yapılan Çalışmalar

Abstract

Because of the nutrition facts that constituting basic requirements, agriculture is one of the indispensables of our country from the existence of humanity until today. Also the importance given to whom engaged in agriculture sector is controversial. The most important issues are high cost of production inputs and the lack of price stability in manufactured products. Also fertilizer is one of the most important input in agricultural production. In our country, by the lack of awareness on the fertilizer usage, quality degradation in efficiency, loss of productivity in agricultural land and negative impact on the environment can be seen because of excessive usage of fertilizers. Also yield loss can be observed as a result of too little usage [53]. Therefore, this study was conducted to reveal once again the importance of mycorrhizal fungi that can replaced as fertilizer.So far a total of 122 fungal species has been reported in Turkey [7]. One of them is mycorrhiza. After settling on plant root cortex,mycorrhizal fungi becomes a part of the internal environment by releasing hyphae into the cortex. The fast-growing hyphae provides water and mineral nutrients from the outside to the inwards and organic substances from the inside out. By its nature this symbiosis is very active in providing nutrient cycling and plant vitality in the eco-system. Environmental temperature and humidity, ventilation, light and presence of
organic matter are important factors for mycorrhizal activity. And a large number of plant which create a symbiotic partnership with fungi have been identified [1].In conclusion, using mycorrhizae in agriculture will increase soil fertility, improve profitability and product quality also reduce input costs
and environmental pollution based on agriculture.
