Abstract :In this study, effect of mycorrhiza on growth criteria and phosphorus nutrition of lettuce insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lactuca sativa L.); under different phosphorus fertilization rates were investigated. Phosphorus were added into growing media as 0, 50, 100 and 200 mg P2O5/kg with and without mycorrhiza applications. Phosphorus applications significantly increased yield criteria of lettuce according to the control treatment statistically. Mycorrhiza application also significantly increased plant diameter, plant dry weight and phosphor uptake by plant. The highest phosphorus uptakes by plants were determined in 200 mg P2O5/kg treatments as 88.8 mg P/pot with mycorrhiza and 83.1 mg P/pot without mycorrhiza application. In the control at 0 doses of phosphorus with mycorrhiza treatment, phosphorus uptake insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(69.9 mg P/pot);, edible weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(84.36 g);, dry weight insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(8.64 g); and leaf number insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(28); of lettuce were higher than that insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(47.7 mg P/pot, 59.33 g, 6.75 g and 20, respectively); in the control without mycorrhiza application. It was determined that mycorrhiza had positive effect on growth criteria and phosphorus nutrition by lettuce plant, and this effect decreased at higher phosphorus application rates.
