Application of diatomite to the soil in concentrations (from 1.5 to 3%) resulted in the increase of arbuscular
mycorrhiza fungi in root core of barley cultivar "Baysheshek". The highest microtropic was observed under 10% diatomite
concentration. Further increase of diatomite concentration resulted in slight decrease of barley microtropic level. At the same
time under different concentrations of diatomite from 1.5 to 10% the correlation between microtropic levels and dry mass of
aboveground parts of the plant is observed. The data obtained in the course of the study can be used in the development of
biotechnologies aimed at improving soil fertility and crop yields.
