The effects of different Michoriza species to nursery plant performances of Meyer lemon plants grafted on sour orange rootstock were investigated. Air pruning technique was applied to roots to produce soil born pests free nursery plants. Ferti-irrigation with specially formulated soilless nutrient solution was applied to air pruning suitable pots to produce plants with free from root circling, vigorous and can compete with well-developed conventional nursery plants that have soil penetrated roots. The study was conducted in greenhouse that are belongs to Akdeniz University Agricultural Faculty and have light intensity between 303,00-1988.85 lx completed in greenhouse during April to November of 2017. The research was conducted with three replications each of which had five plants. Growing media was the 3:1 mixture of peat moss and pumice. Experimented Michoriza mixture was consist of Glomus spp.: G.mosseae, G.etunicatium, G.clarium, G.intraradices, G.caledonium, G.macrocarpium, G.margarita, G.fasciculatum species and provided by Çukurova University, Agricultural Faculty, Soil Science Department. The dose of Michoriza mixture was 500 spores/plant (50 g of Michoriza). Measurements were including; rootstock and scion diameters, shoot length, chlorophyll and leaf area indexes, root Michoriza infection ratio (%) and number of spores in rhizosphere (numbers/10 g soil). The results showed that while Michoriza had no effect on rootstock and scion diameters and shoot length, had influence on chlorophyll and leaf area indexes.
