By using biofertilizers consisting of beneficial microorganisms
instead of synthetic chemicals, plant growth is increased, damage to
the environment is largely prevented and soil fertility is preserved.
This planned study was carried out in 7 standard cultivars (Scarlet
Spur, Red Chief, Fuji, Jeromine, Galaxy Gala, Granny Smith and
Golden Reinders) budded on M9 and MM106 rootstocks commonly
used in the region. In the experiment, trees were applied nitrogen +
phosphorus solvent rhizobacteria 3 times in 15 days in the spring
period. The rhizobacteria application had a positive effect on the
catalase (CAT), superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD)
activities contained in the leaves in all scion-rootstock combinations.
This effect ranged from 4.0% to 30.0% for CAT, from 5.2% to
21.7% for SOD, and from 13.7% to 29.1% for POD. In this study,
very detailed results were obtained on the effects of rootstocks and
rhizobacteria application. The results of the present study may
provide significant leads for further studies on this subject.
