Abstract

The study investigates the effects of Peat, Farm Yard Manure and Chemical Fertilizer Applications on soil properties of Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) growth media. The experiment was conducted using six different growing media as Soil (S), Peat (P) and Soil:Peat:Farmyard Manure (S:P:FYM), Soil:Sand:Farmyard Manure (S:Sand:FYM) in the ratios of 1:1:1 and 2:1:1 for each combined growth media both with and without the application of basic fertilizer and carried out in three replications according to the randomized experimental design. As a basic fertilizer 100 mg kg-1 P2O5, 150 mg kg-1, K2O and 250 mg kg-1 N were applied as triple super phosphate K2SO4 and (NH4)2SO4, respectively. In the study, the lowest pH means were determined as 5.08 and 5.10 in the peat ( Tf ) growth media in both the applications without and with chemical fertilizer, respectively, and the highest pH means was determined as 7.72 in the soil (S) media without chemical fertilizer application. The lowest EC means was found as 791.66 µS cm-1 in peat growth media in applications without chemical fertilizer, while the highest EC means were found as 4713.35 µS cm-1 and 5860.00 µS cm-1 in S:P:FYM (1:1:1) growth media in both chemical fertilizer and non-fertilizer applications, respectively. The lowest organic matter content was 0.76% in the S:Sand:FYM (2:1:1) growth media in chemical fertilizer applications. The highest organic matter contents were found in the S:P:FYM (1:1:1) growth media in both chemical fertilizer and non-fertilizer applications as 12.14% and 18.77%, respectively. As a result of the research, it was determined that, in general, as the proportion of peat and farmyard manure in the media increases, the organic matter content and EC values increase, while pH values decrease.

Özet

Çalışmada torf, ahır gübresi ve kimyasal gübre uygulamalarının Stevia (Stevia rebaudiana) yetiştirme ortamının toprak özellikleri üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Deneme, Toprak (T), Torf (Tf) ve Toprak:Torf:Ahır gübresi (T:Tf:AG), Toprak:Kum:Ahır gübresi (T:K:AG) olmak üzere altı farklı yetiştirme ortamı kullanılarak, her bir yetiştirme ortamı için 1:1:1 ve 2:1:1 oranlarında hem temel gübre uygulanarak hem de uygulanmaksızın, şansa bağlı deneme desenine göre üç tekrarlamalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Temel gübre olarak sırasıyla 100 mg kg-1 P2O5, 150 mg kg-1, K2O ve 250 mg kg-1 N Triple Süper Fosfat, K2SO4 ve (NH4)2SO4 olarak uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada en düşük pH ortalamaları kimyasal gübresiz ve kimyasal gübreli uygulamaların ikisinde de torf yetiştirme ortamında sırası ile 5.08 ve 5.10 olarak, en yüksek pH ortalaması 7.72 olarak kimyasal gübre uygulanmayan toprak ortamında belirlenmiştir. En düşük EC ortalaması kimyasal gübresiz uygulamalarda 791.66 µS cm-1 olarak torf yetiştirme ortamında, en yüksek EC ortalamaları ise kimyasal gübreli ve gübresiz uygulamaların her ikisinde de T:Tf:AG (1:1:1) yetiştirme ortamlarında sırası ile 4713.35 µS cm-1 ve 5860.00 µS cm-1 olarak bulunmuşlardır. En düşük organik madde içeriği ise kimyasal gübreli uygulamalarda T:K:AG (2:1:1) yetiştirme ortamında %0.76 olarak elde edilmiştir. En yüksek organik madde içerikleri kimyasal gübreli ve gübresiz uygulamaların her ikisinde de T:Tf:AG (1:1:1) yetiştirme ortamlarında sırası ile %12.14 ve %18.77 olarak bulunmuşlardır. Araştırma sonucunda, genel olarak ortamlardaki torf ve ahır gübresi oranı arttıkça organik madde içeriği ve EC değerlerinin arttığı, pH değerlerinin ise azaldığı belirlenmiştir.
