Abstract

water and soil salinity are the serious and growing problem in the world, a large part of our country is also faced with this problem. Nowadays, application of symbiont microorganisms such as mycorrhiza-like fungi, P. indica, is one of the strategies using for improvement of growth and yield in unpleasant environmental conditions such as water and soil salinity. The study was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications at research greenhouse University of university of mohaghegh ardabili 2018. Treatments included two levels of coexistence (control and inoculated with the fungus) and four salinity levels (0, 75, 150 and 300 mmol NaCl). We study height, dry weight of leaf and root and total soluble phenolics content. The findings of this study indicate that inoculation significantly increased height, dry weight of leaf and root and total soluble phenolics in stress condition. It seems that, symbiotic relationship of basil with fungi P. indica can improve basil growth properties by increase salt tolerance in such condition.
