Abstract

In this study, the olive mill wastewater at different concentrations (control, 1/1, 1/2,
1/3, 1/4 (OMW/distilled water) and undiluted OMW) was used to determine the
impact to the sainfoin seed germination. In the study, the germination ratio
and mean germination time showed statistically significant differences in terms
of levels according to treatments, sainfoin populations and sainfoin
populations x treatments interaction (p<0.01), germination ratio varied at 5-70 % and the highest
value (70 %) was obtained from 1/2 (OMW/distilled water) application in true
sainfoin seeds. In general, the OMW (added distilled water)  treatments were increased germination ratio.
The lowest germination ratio (11.67 %) was determined in sainfoin seeds
collected from Eğirdir location. According to application, the highest
germination ratio was obtained from 1/1 and 1/2 (OMW/distilled water)
applications. In experiment, mean germination time varied in 5.0-11.0 days.
Generally, high OMW concentrations (except undiluted OMW) extended mean
germination time in sainfoin seeds. In all OMW applications, it shortened in ES
seeds, but not in TS seeds. Additionally, germination time weren’t effected as
positive from OMW applications (except undiluted OMW) in TS seeds. The longest
mean germination time (9.0 day) was in ES seeds. According to treatments,
germination in the shortest time occurred in 1/4 (OWM/distilled water)
treatment. As a result, olive oil wastewater (OMW) mixed to irrigation water in
certain dozes may increase seed germination and can be used as fertilizer in
agriculture.
