Durum wheat cultivation with the effect of mycorrhizae on crop growth, yield and nutrient uptake

Abstract

This dissertation, which is a research dissertation, consists of five different treatments in a field of durum wheat. Each treatment has different types of fertilizer with the input of mycorrhizal symbiotic fungi too. The research was held in a private field in the region of Kozani in Greece. The result of the study indicated a statistically significant difference between the treatments. Wheat is a crop that needs to have a good quality yield in order for the end product to have good quality as well, protein content and vitreousness of the kernels need to have high values. Also the mycorrhiza is known to increase total yield along with the quality.
