Özet

A field experiment was conducted to evaluation effects of mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on the water consumptive use to the growth and yield traits of Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) under drought stress in gypsiferous soil. The experimental station of the Soils and Water Resources Department. College of Agriculture-Tikrit university, is located at 34°40ʹ 49ʺ and 43° 38ʹ 40ʺ and (129 m) above sea level, The experiment was (RCBD) randomized complete block design with two factors: mycorrhizal fungi inoculation, Glomus spp. And The second factor, three irrigation levels, still benefited 25, 50, and 75 % of the available water. The best results were that water consumption ranged between 649.5 and 758.9 mm. The post-depletion irrigation treatment and the inoculation treatment outperformed all growth traits and yielded all other traits. The interaction between mycorrhizal inoculation and post-depletion irrigation gave the best results in all traits which reached plant height, leaf area, number of branches, grain weight, dry mass yield of the vegetative system, and grain yield, were 84.33 cm, 4.84 cm2, 464.36, 5.69 ton.ha-1 and 471.30 kg m-2 respectively outperforming all other treatments.
