Abstract
Abstract A field study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and phosphorus levels (100, 150 and 200 kg) for increasing biomass yield and ajmalicine content in a medicinal plant (Catharanthus roseus). The plants treated with 150 and 200 kg P2O5/ha along with AMF had the maximum plant height, number of leaves, root biomass, phosphorus content, root colonization, spore count and ajmalicine content 120 days after planting when compared with the control plants. The results suggested that these treatments could be recommended for enhancing biomass and alkaloid content in C. roseus.
Özet
Arbuskuler mikorizal mantar (AMM) ve fosfor seviyelerinin (100, 150 ve 200 kg), tibbi bir bitkide(Catharanthus roseus) biyokutle miktarini ve ajmalisin icerigini artirmadaki etkisini olcmek amaciyla bir alan caliþmasi gerceklestirildi. 150 ve 200 kg P2O5/ha ve AMM ile muamele edilen bitkiler, ekimden 120 gun sonra kontrol bitkileri ile kiyaslandiginda, maksimum bitki yuksekligi, yaprak sayisi, kok biyokutlesi, fosfor icerigi, kok kolonizasyonu, spor sayisi ve ajmalisin icerigine sahipti. Sonuclar, bu muamelelerin C. roseus'ta biyokutle ve alkaloit icerigini artirmak icin kullanilmasinin tavsiye edilebilecegini gostermektedir.
