Effect of mycorrhizae on the growth of strawberry and pepper plants and some pathogens

The pathogenicity studies of Fusarium spp. and Colletotrichum spp. isolated from strawberry and Fusarium spp. and V. dahliae isolated from pepper were conducted, but aren?t found to be pathogen. Therefore, in the study mycorrhizaepathogen relationship in strawberry and plant growth in pepper were evaluated. In addition the effect of mycorrhizae on growth of strawberry was determined. Therefore, in this study mycorrhizae-pathogen relationship in strawberry and plant growth in pepper were evaluated. Two isolates of R. solani, isolated from Xanthium strumarium (Rsx) and strawberry (Rsç), were used. The diseases severity on the root of strawberry inoculated with Rsç was %67 while it was %35.2 with application of both pathogen and mycorrhizae and it was respectively %45 and %15 on the leaves. The severity inoculated by Rsx on the root was %76.6 while it was %36.7 with application of both pathogen and mycorrhizae and it was respectively %40 and %10 on the leaves. When the effects of mycorrhizae and R. solani on the morphological and pomological growth compared between control and inoculated plants, statistically differences were found. The plants inoculated with mycorrhizae have more leaves and daughter plant than control and inoculated with R. solani. There were not statistically differences on fresh and dry weight between control and plants with mycorrhizae. On the other hand, this differences were found on the plants inoculated with Rsç were important. The root growth of plants with mycorrhizae was higher than plants in other applications. The fresh and dry weight of plants with mycorrhizae that root growth was observed. There was not statistically a difference on fresh and dry weight of root between control and plants with mycorrhizae increase there was a significant difference among plants inoculants with Rsç.
