Abstract
A field experiment was conducted to study the effect of mycorrhizal fungi inoculation on the water consumptive use, growth, and yield of Barley (Hordeum Vulgare L.) under drought stress in Gypsifereous soil. The experimental station of the soil science and water rescuers dept. College of Agriculture, Tikrit University, located at 34°40 49 and 43° 38 40 longitude and 129 m above sea level. The experiment was carried out with a randomized complete block design (RCBD) with two factorial combinations, mycorrhizal fungi inoculation, and the second factor three irrigation levels still benefited 25, 50, and 75 % of water available water. The best results were that water consumption ranged between 649.5 and 758.9 mm. The post-depletion irrigation treatment and the inoculation treatment outperformed all growth traits and yielded all other therapies. The interaction between mycorrhizal inoculation and post-depletion irrigation gave the best results in all traits which reached plant height, leaf area, number of branches, grain weight, dry mass yield of the vegetative system, and grain yield, were 84.33 cm, 4.84 cm2, 464.36, 5.69 ton.ha-1 and 471.30 kg m-2 respectively outperforming all other treatments.
