Abstract

In greenhouse experiment, the effects of different sewage sludges applied repeatedly to soil at different application rates for two years on tomato dry matter, fruit yield, fruit quality parameters and mineral contents of tomato plant were examined. Plant dry matter and fruit yield, mineral contents including N, P, K, Ca and Mg in fruits of tomato plant were increased by the increasing applications of sludge rates for each years. Differences of the characteristics of sludges were reflected to growth, yield and mineral contents of plants grown on sludge-applied soil. Mineral contents of tomato plant were higher in the second year by successive sludge applications. At low rates either of these sludges affected plant growth well, but depending on the sludge type, phytotoxicity and growth retard were determined by higher sludge application rates and successive sludge treatments. The findings on the effects of sludge differences, phytotoxicity and heavy metals accumulation in plant as a result of successive years applications of municipal sludge to greenhouse soil could be thought a noticeable examples for the safety reuse concerns of sludge in agriculture.

Toprağa Uygulanan Kentsel Arıtma Çamurunun Domates Bitkisine Etkisi: II. Gelişme ve Meyve Özellikleri ile Meyvede Mineral İçerikleri

Abstract

Sera denemesinde iki yıl yinelemeli olarak toprağa uygulanan farklı kentsel arıtma çamurlarının domates bitkisinde kuru madde, meyve ürün miktarları ve bazı meyve kalite özellikleri ile mineral içerikleri üzerine etkileri incelenmiştir. Toprağa artan miktarlarda uygulanan arıtma çamurları ile ilgili olarak her iki yıl domates bitkisinin kuru madde ve meyve ürün miktarları, ve meyvede N, P, K, Mg, Fe, içerikleri artmıştır. Arıtma çamurlarının niteliklerindeki farklılık, uygulandığı toprakta yetişen bitkilerin gelişme ve mineral içeriklerine yansımıştır. Arıtma çamurlarının yinelemeli uygulamalarında bitkide daha yüksek mineral içerikleri belirlenmiştir. Toprağa uygulanan çamurlar düşük düzeylerde bitki gelişimini olumlu etkilemiş, fakat yinelemeli uygulamalarda ve yüksek uygulama düzeylerinde, uygulanan çamur tipine bağlı olarak gelişimde duraklama ve fitotoksisite etkileri belirlenmiştir. Kentsel arıtma çamurunun sera toprağına yinelemeli uygulamalarının sonucu olarak, bitkide gözlenen fitotoksisite ve çamur etkilerinin farklılıkları üzerindeki bulgular arıtma çamurlarının tarımda güvenli geri kazanımı üzerindeki endişelere örnek teşkil etmektedir.
