The Effects of Different Organomineral and Chemical Fertilizers on Fruit Yield, Fruit Quality and Plant Nutrient Uptake in Strawberry (Fragaria × ananassa Duch) Cultivation

Abstract

Product yield and quality in agricultural production is closely related to plant nutrition. The most important input used in plant nutrition is fertilizers. Since chemical fertilizers, which are used as indispensable in today's modern agriculture, are both costly and harmful to the environment and people, the search for more economical and effective solutions to these inputs has gained importance. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effects of different organomineral and chemical fertilizer applications on yield, quality and nutrient intake in strawberry cultivation. Sweet Charlie strawberry variety was used as plant material, organomineral fertilizer (Agronatura, Agrosulfur, 5x15, and 30.0.0) and chemical fertilizers (Agrohum, Azurite and 4x10) were used as fertilizer materials. The mean values of the measurements made at the end of the study were evaluated statistically. In the research; Quality parameters such as yield per plant, average fruit weight, water-soluble dry matter content, fruit acidity, micro (iron, zinc, manganese and copper) and macro (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and calcium) nutrient contents were examined. According to our findings, organomineral fertilizer applications gave the best results in terms of yield and average fruit weight criteria.

Çilek (Fragaria × ananassa Duch.) Yetiştiriciliğinde Farklı Organomineral ve Kimyasal Gübrelerin Meyve Verimi, Kalitesi ve Bitki Besin Maddesi Alımı Üzerine Etkileri

Abstract

Tarımsal üretimde ürün verimi ve kalitesi bitki besleme ile yakından ilgilidir. Bitki beslemede kullanılan en önemli girdi ise gübrelerdir. Günümüz modern tarımında vazgeçilmez olarak kullanılan kimyasal gübreler, hem maliyetli olması hem de çevreye ve insanlara zararlı olması nedeniyle bu girdilere daha ekonomik ve etkili çözüm arayışları önem kazanmıştır. Bu çalışmada çilek yetiştiriciliğinde farklı organomineral ve kimyasal gübre uygulamalarının verim, kalite ve bitki besin alımı üzerine etkilerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır. Bitki materyali olarak Sweet Charlie çilek çeşidi, organomineral gübre olarak Agronatura, Agrosülfür, 5x15, ve 30.0.0 ve kimyasal gübre olarak Agrohum, Azurite ve 4x10 gübre materyalleri olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen verilerin ortalama değerleri istatistiksel olarak olarak p<0.005 anlamlılık düzeyinde değerlendirildi. Araştırmada; bitki başına verim, ortalama meyve ağırlığı, suda çözünür kuru madde içeriği, meyve asitliği gibi kalite parametreleri, mikro (demir, çinko, manganez ve bakır) ve makro (azot, fosfor, potasyum ve kalsiyum) besin elementleri içerikleri incelenmiştir Bulgularımıza göre organomineral gübre uygulamalarının verim ve ortalama meyve ağırlığı kriterleri açısından en iyi sonucu vermiştir
