Özet

During the years 2000-2001, a study was conducted in Malatya province of Turkey to determine the effects of foliar application of bacteria Bacillus OSU-142 on yield, growth and control of disease (shot-hole) of apricot cv. Hacihaliloglu. In vitro production of indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) by PGPR was also determined. The trees were sprayed with bacteria at 10(9) CFU/ml concentrations and results showed that Bacillus OSU-142 had the capacity to increase yield (approximately 41.0-58.5 kg/tree) and quality by reducing shot-hole disease severity (2.63-3.43) and incidence (5.0-24.67%).
