Effect of Mycorrhızan on Productıvıty in Phosphorus Defıcıent Soıl

Abstract

The unconscious and continuous use of fertilization studies in agriculture in order to meet the needs of the growing world population reflects heavily on nature. The chemicals used under the name of fertilization damage the soil, in fact, while trying to get yield, they gradually reduce the soil quality and reduce its yield. At the same time, the chemicals used have a negative impact on beneficial bacteria and other living things in the soil and disrupt the ecosystem balance. In addition to all these, the use of chemical fertilizers disrupts the soil structure and increases the risk of erosion. In addition to the natural negative consequences, it creates high-cost inputs for the producer, which reduces the support of farmers for sustainable agriculture and makes them lose interest in agriculture. Interest and support for sustainable agriculture has recently increased and interest in studies in this direction has intensified. Sustainable agriculture is an approach to agriculture in which current agricultural practices go beyond meeting the needs of future generations to protect and improve ecosystems, communities and the overall health of our planet. Sustainable agriculture aims to achieve a balance between economic, environmental and social dimensions. In recent scientific studies, it has been determined that plant nutrients are taken up not only by plant roots but also by fungi species called mycorrhizae, which are identified under a microscope and produce large amounts of hyphae (Ortaş, 1996, 1997, 2003). Mycorrhiza is a term that refers to a special symbiotic relationship established between the roots of plants and fungi. This relationship takes place between the roots of plants and the thin extensions of fungi called mycelia. A mycorrhizal relationship provides various benefits for both parties. Mycorrhiza is a type of symbiotic relationship that provides a number of important benefits for plants. These advantages emphasize the importance of the symbiotic relationship between mycorrhizae and plants in ecosystems and agricultural fields. Therefore, research on mycorrhizae has become a valuable topic in sustainable agriculture and plant breeding practices.
