Abstract

This study was carried out to investigate the response of carob seedlings to growing media, Biostimulants (Atonik) and Mycorrhiza fungi (VAM). So, this study included 2 parts. Generally, growing the carob seedlings in a mixture of sand+ clay+ perlite+ peatmoss or sand+ clay+ peatmoss resulted in the tallest seedlings with the greatest number of leaves. Whereas the mixture of sand+ clay+ vermiculite decreased the plant height of carob seedling. Most of the growing mixtures had a favorable effect on increasing the stem diameter of the carob seedlings as compared with seedlings grown in sand+ clay. The fresh and dry weights of leaves and stems were the heaviest in the mixtures of sand+ clay+ vermiculite+ peatmoss, sand+ clay+ perlite+ peatmoss or sand+ clay+ peatmoss. The mixtures of sand+ clay+ perlite, sand+ clay+ peatmoss or sand+ clay+ perlite+ peatmoss markedly increased the root length, whereas the mixture of sand+ clay+ vermiculite+ peatmoss decreased it. The mixture of sand+ clay+ vermiculite was the most effective medium in increasing the contents of (chlorophyll–a–b and caroteniods). Using sand+ clay+ peatmoss mixture increased the accumulation of nitrogen in the leaves. Adding vermiculite to sand+ clay mixture had a favorable effect on increasing the N content in the stems and roots of the carob seedlings. Regarding the effect of Atonik and Mycorrhiza on carob seedlings. It was found that adding Mycorrhiza to soil was the most effective on increasing the vegetative growth (plant height, stem diameter, root length, fresh and dry weight of leaves, stems and roots, and chemical constituents (chlorophyll-a-b, carotene, total carbohydrates content N, P and K percentage in all parts of carob seedlings. comparing with the application of Atonik treatment and the control plants.
