organic materials in terms of their nutrient content. These materials are often
used in non-agricultural areas. Composting in the conversion of agricultural

these composts were consisted of different agricultural wastes such as pruning
wastes-PW, spent mushroom composts-SMC and at different ratios. Five different
compost mixtures were added to the pot soil (1 ton ha <sup>-1 </sup>) and
composts effects on growth and nutrient contents of lettuce were determined.
The study was carried out during two successive seasons (autumn and spring).
The results showed that p </span> <span lang="en-us" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;" xml:lang="en-us">lant growth

Generally the highest values were obtained from M1 (80%SMC+20%PW) and
M2(70%SMC+30PW)treatments for many parameters. </span> </p> <p> <i> </i> </p> <i> </i>}, number={1}, publisher={Volkan OKATAN}
