Abstract :Different arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AMF); species can adapt to a wide variety of soil characteristics and the presence of a wide variety of hosts. AMF spores can even adapt to poor environmental conditions and reproduce by means of certain mechanisms they develop. In addition, the presence of different plant species is largely responsible for the presence of different AMF spore species. Mycorrhizal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(dependent on mycorrhiza); and nonmycorrhizal insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(nondependent on mycorrhiza); status of plants, which they form depending on the affinity of plants for mycorrhizae, has a guiding effect on some of their mechanisms. This case affects the increase or decrease of the mycorrhizal spore presence in the soil. Within the scope of the aim of the present study, soil sampling insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(0-20 cm); was performed from areas cultivated with wheat and sugar beet, which are plants from two different families insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Gramineae and Amaranthaceae);. The sampling areas were in the Alibey Series of Çumra Plain in Konya Closed Basin. In the collected soil samples, insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(AMF); spore counts were performed and their distributions depending on plant type were determined. In the present study conducted in the Alibey Series of Çumra Plain, the number of mycorrhizal spores isolated from the areas cultivated with wheat, which is a mycorrhizal plant, was determined as 35-259 spores/10 g soil, whereas this number was found to be 17.19-146,19 spores/10 g soil in the same amount of soil isolated from the areas cultivated with nonmycorrhizal sugar beet plant. The difference between the means of the mycorrhizal spore numbers counted through isolating from wheat and sugar beet cultivated soils was found to be statistically significant insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(P<0.01);.
