Abstract

Living organisms in soil has a great influence on biochemical productivity of soil. Earthworm, one of the attractive members of soil fauna, is becoming popular due to their improvement capabilities of nutrient availability. Therefore, a one year pot experiment was carried out to determine effect of earthworms on nutrient uptake of corn plant in non-fertilized as well as organic and mineral fertilizer applied conditions. Three and 6 Dendrobaena spp. earthworms were introduced to soil as equivalent of 100 and 200 earthworms per square meter. Result revealed that, earthworms has influence on nutrient uptake of the corn. Both organic and mineral fertilizer applications increased biomass yield and nutrient uptake compared to non-fertilized variant. Mineral fertilizer was more effective then organic fertilizer, most probably due to slow mineralization proses or insufficient time for releasing nutrient via mineralization which stimulated by earthworms. Based on the overall results, earthworm inoculation or feeding indigenous earthworms are recommended to improve soil productivity even in mineral fertilizer applied conditions.

Özet

Topraktaki canlı organizmaların toprağın biyokimyasal verimliliği üzerinde büyük etkileri vardır. Toprak faunasının çekici üyelerinden birisi olan toprak solucanları, besin elementi yarayışlılığını artırma yeteneklerinden dolayı popüler hale gelmektedirler. Bu nedenle toprak solucanlarının mısır bitkisinin besin elementi alımına etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla gübresiz, organik gübreli ve mineral gübreli koşullarda tek yıllık saksı denemesi yürütülmüştür. Denemede metre kareye 100 ve 200 solucana karşılık gelen Dendrobaena spp. solucanından saksı başına 3 ve 6 tane aşılanmıştır. Sonuçlar toprak solucanlarının mısır bitkisinin besin elementi alımı üzerinde etkili olduğunu göstermiştir. Hem organik hem de mineral gübreleme, gübresiz koşullara oranla besin elementi alımını ve biyomas verimini artırmıştır. Mineral gübreleme organik gübrelemeye göre etkili bulunmuştur. Bu durum büyük olasılıkla mineralizasyon sürecinin yavaş olmasından veya solucanlar tarafından teşvik edilen mineralizasyon süreci sonunda besin elementi yarayışlılığının artması için yeterli süre geçmemesinden kaynaklanmaktadır. Sonuçlardan genel olarak mineral gübreli koşullarda bile toprakların üretkenliğini geliştirmede toprağa solucan aşılaması veya var olan yerli solucanların desteklenmesi önerilmektedir.
