The Effect of Potassium and Magnesium Fertilization on the Growth and Nutritional Pattern and K-Mg Uptake Efficiency of Maize Grown in Fe Siltation Soil

Year 1999, Volume: 13 Issue: 18, 107 - 117, 15.12.1999

Abstract

A pot experiment with corn (Zea mays L., cv.TTM-813) was carried out on a completely randomized design with two factors. Potassium and magnesium were applied at the rates of 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 mg K₂O.kg¹ as K2SO4 and 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 mg Mg kg¹ as MgO to the pots containing 5 kg of soil which are brought into cultivation after siltation made by Kelkit river. Phosphorus and N were applied at the rates of 40 mg P2O5.kg¹ as triple superphosphate and 75 mg N.kg¹ as urea respectively as basal fertilization. The plants were harvested 8 weeks after sowing. Potassium has significantly increased the growth of corns, regardless of applied levels, compared with control treatment. Increasing rates of magnesium has also significantly affected the growth of corn plant. 20 mg K₂O.kg and 20 mg.kg¹ Mg were sufficient to increase the dry matter yield of plants. K-use efficiency, K-uptake efficiency and K-utilization efficiency were strongly related to the K application, on the other hand, Mg-use efficiency, Mg-uptake efficiency and Mg-utilization efficiency were strongly related to the Mg application. K and Mg-utilization efficiencies suggested that K:Mg ratio was an important factor for optimal growth and that proper nutrient uptake of the plants. It was concluded that application of Mg fertilizer must accompany K fertilizer application, especially in the siltation soils poor in available magnesium. Fe, Zn, Cu and Mn uptakes of plant gave different values depending on the dry matter yield and nutrient content of corn.

Fe Siltasyon Toprağında Yetiştirilen Mısır Bitkisinin Gelişimi ve Beslenme Düzeni ile K-Mg Alım Etkinliğine Potasyum ve Magnezyum Gübrelemesinin Etkisi

Year 1999, Volume: 13 Issue: 18, 107 - 117, 15.12.1999

Abstract

Deneme, tesadilf parselleri deneme desenine göre iki faktörlü olarak yürütülmüş, bitki olarak TTM-813 mısır çeşidi kullanılmıştır. Potasyumlu gübre 0, 10, 20, 30 ve 40 mg K₂O.kg¹ dozlarında ve K2SO4 formunda, magnezyumlu gübre ise 0, 10, 20, 30 ve 40 mg Mg.kg¹ dozlarında ve MgO formunda 5 kg toprak içeren saksılara uygulanmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan toprak, Kelkit çayından siltasyonla tarıma yeni kazandırılan sahadan elde edilmiştir. Normal bitki gelişimi için ayrıca 40 mg P2O5.kg¹ dozunda fosfor, triple superfosfat ve 75 mg N.kg..dozunda azot, üre formunda, uygulanmıştır. Bitkiler çimlenmeyi takiben 8 haftalık bir süre sonunda hasat edilmiştir. Potasyumlu gübre uygulaması mısır bitkisi gelişimini kontrole göre önemli ölçüde etkilemiş, ancak 10, 20, 30 ve 40 mg.kg¹ K2O dozları arasında önemli bir fark ortaya çıkmamıştır. Artan dozlarda magnezyum uygulaması da mısır gelişimini önemli düzeyde etkilemiştir. Bitki kuru madde verimi açısından 20 mg.kg¹ K2O ve 20 mg.kg¹ Mg uygulamaları yeterli bulunmuştur. Magnezyum uygulaması K-kullanım etkinliği, K-alım etkinliği ve K'dan yararlanma oranına, diğer taraftan potasyum uygulaması Mg-kullanım etkinliği, Mg-alım etkinliği ve Mg'den yararlanma oranına önemli etkide bulunmuştur. K ve Mg kullanım etkinliği ile ilgili parametreler, optimal bitki gelişimi ve beslenme düzeni açısından K:Mg oranının önemli bir faktör olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu durum, örneğin siltasyon alanlarında olduğu gibi özellikle Mg açısından yoksun olan topraklarda potasyumlu gübrelemenin magnezyumla orantıı olarak yapılması gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır. Mısır bitkisince sömürülen Fe, Zn, Cu ve Mn miktarları da, gerek bitki kuru madde miktarı ve gerekse besin kapsamına bağlı olarak farklı değerler vermiştir.
