Rhizobacteria Increases Growth and Development of Blackberry Saplings

In this study, the effects of rhizobacteria on vegetative growth of Chester Thornless blackberry cultivars saplings were investigated. In this context, plant height, shoot number, stem diameter, average shoot length, root length, plant fresh and dry weight, root fresh and dry weight, IAA, ABA, GA, cytokinin, zeatin hormones and N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Mn, Fe, Zn, Cu, Na nutrients were investigated. According to the evaluations, the highest plant fresh and dry weights and root fresh and dry weights were obtained from the SK50 bacteria strain. It was determined that plant height, stem diameter, average shoot length and root length maximum increased with SK-39 strain. Bacteria applications increased the IAA, GA, cytokinin and zeatin contents and decreased the ABA content in the leaves. With bacteria applications, leaf N, P, K, Ca, S, Zn, Cu and Na contents increased compared to control. According to the results of the research, it can be recommended to use Herbaspirillum huttiense SK-39, Achromobacter xylosoxidans denitrificans SK-50, Pantoea agglomerans GC subgroup SY-43 and Microbacterium ester aromaticum SY-48 bacteria strains in order to promote growth and development in the cultivation of blackberry cultivars.
