Effects of Different Organic Manures and Leonardıte on Soil Properties and Growing of Maize Plant (Zea Mays L.)

Abstract

The study was conducted to determine the effects of urban waste compost, cattle manure, chicken manure and leonardite on some soil properties and growing of maize (Zea mays L.) under greenhouse conditions. A sandy clay loam soil was used in the experiment. Urban waste compost, chicken manure and leonardite were applied to each soil in pots (oven dry basin, contained 3000 g of the soil), at the rates of equivalent to 0-5-10 t ha-1 (% 0.0-0.2-0.4) and cattle manure was applied at the rates of equivalent to 0-10-20 t ha-1 (% 0.0-0.4-0.8). The results showed that the soil properties and growing of maize (Zea mays L.) were affected by the types and dose of the organic manures. The highest soil aggregate stability and field capacity values were 17.00, 17.28 in the second doses of leonardite and the ratio of dispersion was 84.15 % in the first dose of chicken manure, respectively. The second dose of leonardit to improve soil properties was more effective than the other applications. The highest fresh leaf and root weight were 56.00 g pot-1 and 8.96 g pot-1, respectively. The highest dry leaf and root weight were 8.61 g pot-1 and 2.62 g pot-1, respectively. The highest (64.36 cm) plant tall was obtained with the application rate of chicken manure 1 tonnes per hectare. The first and second doses of chicken manure on growing of maize was more effective than the other applications.
