Summary: | Abstract Background and Objective: In order to study the effect of two commercial rootstocks and two mycorrhizal fungi species colonization on growth and yield of greenhouse cucumber,and the introduction of a suitable rootstock treatment with mycorrhizal fungi for cucumber greenhouse soil killings was performed. Materials & Methods: a factorial experiment in a completely randomized block design with three replications, in the greenhouse, University of Tabriz was carried out. The first factor was the grafting of cucumber on the two rootstocks of Shintoza, and Routpower and symbiosis with two species of mycorrhizal fungi (Diversispora versiformis and Rhizophagus intraradices) considered as the second factor. Results: The results showed that there were significant differences between the rootstocks and the species of mycorrhizal fungi in aspect of growth, yield and qualitative traits. Plants inoculated with D. versiformis and grafted on Shintoza showed better growth parameter, concentration and fruit number and yield than other treatments. This treatment with 2086.76 g per plant had the highest fruit yield and non-grafted and non-mycorrhizal control plants with 787.94 g per plant had the lowest fruit yield. So about 164% fruit yield was increased in comparison with control. Conclusion: simultaneous mycorrhizal fungi using of rootstock is one of the best ways to achieve optimal performance with minimal consumption of foreign inputs and Plants inoculated with D. versiformis and grafted on Shintoza showed better growth parameter. Therefore, the application of mycorrhizal fungi using of Shintoza rootstock is recommended for producing greenhouse cucumbers in soil conditions. |
