The aim of the study was to determine stimulating effect of magnesium on phosphorus uptake. At the field experiment the doses of 0 (Mg0), 20 (Mg2), 40 (Mg4), 60 (Mg6), 80 (Mg8) and 100 (Mg10) kg magnesium ha-1 was applied to mycorrhiza inoculated soil. Throughout the experiment fruit yield values determined whereas the fruit nutrient content analysed at the end of the experiment. Magnesium application was considerably effective on pepper yield however dose was critical where the lowest dose (Mg2) is not provided any benefit. Although the highest dose is also provided higher yield compared to control, but the peak value was on Mg8. Mg fertilization increased plant N contents by the increasing application doses, but after Mg8 dose tendency was switched to negative. Phosphorus contents were not strongly influenced from Mg fertilization. Considering all parameters determined it can be said that the dose of Mg8 optimum dose on pepper production.
