- Abstract
With increasing interest in the development of sustainable agriculture in semi-aird regions, low input land use systems are enhanced to be considered as an option on low production site. Amount of soil losses, erosion is an environmental disaster in marginal lands throughout the world. Greatly efficient rhizosphere microorganisms like VAM (vesicular arbuscular mycorrhizal) are of highly importance for sustainable agriculture. They could supply unavailable soil nutrients and create formation of micro aggregates. Also they chemically enmesh and stabilize micro aggregates and smaller macro aggregates into macro aggregate structures. The majority of agricultural activities in Turkey are exposure to nutrient deficiency and soil erosion. Progressing of this problem is in relationship with poor cover of low-input sites with vegetation at drought conditions. Our goal was to apply VAM for low-input vegetation in terms of improving soil nutrients supply and protect soil structure stability. Trap cultures provide a non-molecular approach to baiting cryptic species of VAM present in plant communities. Diversity of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in selected habitats using trap culture methodology. In trap culture, we will study the rate of root colonization by VAM as highest and lowest inocula or capability of selected VAM species to symbiosis with other soil bacterial species to nutrients supply and soil aggregation in low-input sites. Based on this situation, it is purpose of this study to combination of classical and molecular methods in order of elucidate VAM species with important soil nutrition and structure stability.
