Elma fidanlarında bakteri aşılaması ile büyümenin teşviki

Objective: In research; it was aimed to determine the effects of Bacillus subtilis OSU-142 and Bacillus megaterium M-3 bacteria strains on plant growth of apple saplings. Materials and Methods: In study was conducted at Karaman in 2016-2017. It was used Fuji, Golden Delicious, Mondial Gala, Pink Lady, Red Chief, Scarlet Spur cultivars grafted on MM106 rootstock. Results: Bacteria applications increased the seedling height compared to the control, the highest increase occurred in OSU-142 + M-3. In general, applications have increased the root length. The highest increase in root number was obtained from M-3 application in Mondial Gala, Scarlet Spur, Red Chief and Pink Lady cultivars. Conclusion: As a result, bacterial strains have been confirmed to enhance plant development and it is suggested to use to encourage growth at apple saplings cultivation.
