Abstract

In this study, the effects of the mixture
composed of effective microorganisms named Baikal EM1 on the physiologic
parameters of young chestnut trees (seedlings) were studied. Baikal EМ1
improves the soil microflora and increases the yield, quality and safety of
agricultural products. In addition, Baikal EМ1 enables nutrient uptake by
plants and enriches the soil in terms of vitamins, amino acids and biologically
active ingredients. Within the scope of the study, the physiological
characteristics of chestnut seeds and control samples, which had been treated
with Baikal EM1, were observed for one year. The survival rate and the average
height of the living young trees, which had been treated with Baikal EM1, were
8.5% and 34.7% higher than the control samples, respectively. Chlorophyll a (Cl
a), chlorophyll b (Cl b), carotenoid, nitrogen and protein ratios determined on
the leaves showed an increase compared to the control samples. An increase by
62.3% and 40%, respectively were determined in DNA and RNA ratios.

Efektif Mikroorganizmaların (Baykal EM1) Genç Kestane Ağaçlarının (Castanea sativa Mill.) Bazı Fizyolojik Parametrelerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Baikal EM1 isimli efektif mikro
organizmaların oluşturduğu karışımın genç kestane ağaçlarının (fidanlarının)
fizyolojilerine olan etkileri araştırılmıştır. Baykal EМ1 toprağın
mikroflorasını iyileştirmekte, tarımsal ürünlerin verimliliğini, kalitesini ve
güvenliğini arttırmaktadır. Ayrıca Baikal EМ1 bitkilerin besin alımını
kolaylaştırır ve toprağı vitamin, amino asit ve biyolojik olarak aktif
maddelerle zenginleştirmektedir. Çalışma kapsamında Baikal EM1 ile muamele
edilen kestane tohumları ve kontrol örneklerinin fizyolojik özellikleri bir yıl
boyunca gözlemlenmiştir. Baikal EM1 ile muamele edilen tohumların hayatta kalma
oranı (survival rate) ve ortalama yüksekliği kontrol örneklerinden sırasıyla
%15 ve %34.7 daha yüksektir. Yapraklar üzerinde belirlenen klorofil a (Cl a),
klorofil b (Cl b), karotenoid, nitrojen ve protein oranları kontrol örneklerine
göre artış göstermiştir. DNA ve RNA oranlarında sırasıyla %62.3 ve %40 artış
belirlenmiştir.
