Aims: The aim of this study was to determine the effects of different solarization mulch materials and biochar application on the mineral nutrition of lettuce plant.
Methods and Results: The study was carried out with 2 different solarization mulches and biochar applications for 2 years in greenhouse conditions. Lettuce was grown in each plot after solarization. At the end of the harvest period, the dry weight values of the harvested plants and some nutrient concentrations were determined, in addition, the amounts of elements exploited by plants from the soil were calculated. According to the results; it was determined that the most effective applications on plant’s dry weight for both years were found when solarization and biochar were used together. In addition, it was determined that the least effective applications were found as control treatments and classical solarization treatment.
Conclusions: It was determined that the most effective applications on the nutrients removed from the soil were; bubble solarization + biochar and solarization + biochar applications, while the least ineffective applications were control and classical solarization applications.
Significance and Impact of the Study: According to the values obtained from the classical solarization mulch material, it was concluded that bubble solarization mulch material and solarization applications with biochar added were more effective in terms of lettuce mineral nutrition. According to the results of this study, a more effective cultivation would be possible with the help of biochar additive in solarization applications.
