Toplam 129 atıf DOI
Experiments were conducted during 2000 and 2001 to determine the effects of floral and foliar application of the bacterial strain Bacillus OSU 142 on the yield, growth and nutrient element composition of leaves of the apricot cultivar Hacihaliloglu grown in the Malatya province of Turkey. In 2000, trees were sprayed with a bacterial suspension at full bloom, and 30 and 60 days after full bloom. This experiment demonstrated significant differences in yield, shoot length and nutrient element composition of leaves only on trees treated at the full bloom stage. In view of this, the bacterial application was performed only at full bloom in 2001. The average increase in yield in 2000 and 2001 was 30% and 90%, respectively, compared with the untreated control Shoot length development was significantly higher when trees were treated with OSU 142 at full bloom stage in both years. Similarly, N, P, K, Ca and Mg contents of leaves were higher on OSU 142-treated trees than on the untreated control. The results of this study suggest that OSU 142 has the potential to increase the yield of apricot trees.

During 2003 and 2005, plant growth promoting effects of Pseudomonas BA-8 and Bacillus OSU-142 were tested alone or in combination on apple (Malus domestica L.) cvs. 'Starkrimson' and 'Granny Smith' in terms of yield, growth, and nutrient composition of leaves in the province of Karaman, Turkey. The presence of Pseudomonas BA-8, Bacillus OSU-142 and BA-8+OSU-142 stimulated plant growth and resulted in significant yield increases in both cultivars. Floral and foliar applications of PGPR strains significantly increased yield per trunk cross-section area (13.3-118.5%), fruit weight (4.2-7.5%), shoot length (20.8-30.1%), and shoot diameter (9.0-19.8%) in 'Starkrimson' and yield per Trunk Cross Sectional Area (TCSA; 14.9%) and fruit weight (6.5-8.7%) in 'Granny Smith' compared with the control. In addition, all nutrient elements' contents (N, P, K, Mg, Ca, Fe, Mn, and Zn) investigated in both cultivars, except Mg in 'Starkrimson', were significantly affected by bacterial applications when compared with the control. The highest N content was obtained from BA-8+OSU-142 application in cvs. 'Starkrimson' (2.29%) and 'Granny Smith' (2.33%). Phosphorus contents of leaves of 'Starkrimson' and 'Granny Smith' increased from 0.21 and 0.20% in the control to 0.26 and 0.24% by BA-8 application, to 0.28 and 0.24% by OSU-142 application and to 0.25 and 0.26% by BA-8+ OSU-142 application, respectively. BA-8 application in 'Starkrimson' (1.90%) and OSU-142 applications in 'Granny Smith' (2.90%) significantly increased Ca content of leaves. The results of this study suggest that Pseudomonas BA-8 and Bacillus OSU-142 alone or in combination have the potential to increase the yield, growth, and nutrition of apple trees. © Copyright (c) by The Haworth Press, Inc.
