Özet

The objective of this study was to examine the mycorrhizal spore abundance and identity in three soils from three ecological sites, and also to determine the effect of indigenous and "exotic" mycorrhiza strains on maize (Zea mays L.) plant growth and phosphorus (P) and zinc (Zn) uptake in three agricultural soils. Soil samples were collected from three great agricultural areas with a large expanse of soil series such as Sultanonu, Hart-an and Menzilat from Central Anatolia (CA), Coast of the Mediterranean (CM) and Southeastern Anatolia (SA) areas of Turkey, respectively.
