The effect seaweed fertilizer and mycorrhiza used as a biostimulante on growth of lentil and some biological properties in the rizospher

In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of algae fertilizer and mycorrhiza separately and together on lentil growth and some microbiological properties in the rhizosphere. The experiment was carried out in the greenhouse. Commercially available seaweed and mycorrhizal fertilizers were used in the experiment. Liquid seaweed fertilizer sold as a biostimulator was applied to lentil plant soils in four doses (%0, %0.1, %0.2 ve %0.4)together with 50 ml of water, and mycorrhiza was applied in 2 doses. Plants were harvested 15 weeks after planting. Plant weight, root weight, root length, chlorophyll content of leaves, root zone β-glucosidase dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase enzyme activities, CO2 content were examined.
