Abstract: (775 Views) |
Serendipita indica fungus acts as a growth promotor and to create resistance to environmental stresses in a wide range of plant species. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of this fungus on the growth, yield and flowering of garlic. The experiment was performed as a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design including two factors of the same group (flowering, semi-flowering, non-flowering) and two levels of fungi (inoculated and uninoculated) with three replications. The fungus increased the biomass and yield of garlic by increasing the elements. The effect of all groups on the measured traits except leaf width and chlorophyll showed a statistically significant effect. Fungus treatment did not affect the number of leaves and number of garlic. The fungus increased flowering stem length in all flowering and semi-flowering groups compared with uninoculated (30%). Flowering stem exit was not observed in non-flowering clones. The appearance of flowers was seen only in the flowering group. Flowering percentage in the inoculated flower group (45.90) was lower than inoculated (48.44). The fungus affects the time of stem emergence and accelerates flowering by accelerating maturity. The fungus had a positive effect on increasing the number and size of xylem and parenchymal cells. The results showed that S. indica consumes coexistence with garlic and improves vegetative and reproductive traits.
