Abstract

Strawberry is one of the fruits with high commercial value that is mostly grown in Turkey due to its adaptability to different climatic conditions, its versatility in being consumed fresh or processed, and its health benefits. This study was conducted to determine the effects of pelletized chicken manure, pelletized farm manure, and plant-based organic liquid fertilizers on plant growth, yield, fruit quality and leaf nutrient element contents in strawberries. The experiment utilized the Monterey variety of strawberries. The study examined plant growth parameters, strawberry yield, fruit weight, pH, total soluble solids (TSS), titrable acidity, TSS/Acidity, total sugar, and total anthocyanin in fruit and leaf nutrient element contents. In conclusion, it was determined that organic fertilizers in the study have positive effects on the growth, yield, fruit quality, and leaf nutrient content of strawberry plants. Among the treatments the highest yield per plant (346.57 g plant-1) the largest fruits (17.96 g), TSS, total anthocyanin, the longest root, the thickest stem and the best nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium and zinc contents in the leaf were obtained in the T4 application “Chicken manure (base) + Liquid fertilizer (top)” These findings indicated that chicken manure was more effective compared to other organic fertilizers.

Çilek Yetiştiriciliğinde Bitkisel ve Hayvansal Kaynaklı Organik Gübrelerin Etkileri

Abstract

Çilek, farklı iklim koşullarında yetişebilmesi, taze ve işlenmiş olarak tüketilebilmesi, sağlık açısından faydaları nedeniyle Türkiye’de en çok yetiştirilen ticari değeri yüksek meyvelerden birisidir. Bu çalışma, pelet tavuk gübresi, pelet çiftlik gübresi ve bitkisel menşeili organik sıvı gübrelerin çilekte bitki gelişimi, verim, meyve kalitesi ve yaprak besin element içerikleri üzerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Araştırmada, Monterey çilek çeşidi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada bitki büyüme parametreleri, bitki başına verim (g/bitki), meyve ağırlığı (g), meyvede pH, SÇKM, titre edilir asit, SÇKM/asit oranı, toplam şeker, toplam antosiyanin ve yaprak besin element içerikleri incelenmiştir. Sonuç olarak, organik gübrelerin çilek bitkisinin büyümesi, verimi, meyve kalitesi ve yapraklardaki besin elementi içeriği üzerinde olumlu etkileri olduğu belirlenmiştir. Uygulamalar içerisinde bitki başına en yüksek verim (346.57 g/bitki), en iri meyveler (17.96 g), SÇKM, toplam antosiyanin, en uzun kök, en kalın gövde ve yaprakta en iyi azot, fosfor, potasyum, magnezyum ve çinko içerikleri T4 uygulamasında “Tavuk gübresi (taban)+Sıvı gübre (üstten)” elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, tavuk gübresinin diğer organik gübrelere göre daha etkili olduğunu göstermiştir.
