Effects of Sewage Sludge and Nitrogen Fertilizer Application on Nutrient and Heavy Metal Concentrations in Grass-legume Mixtures

Öz

The study was conducted in 2004-2007 years in the experimental area of Agricultural Faculty of

Yüzüncü Yıl University, in East Anatolia Region of Turkey. We harvested once times in 2005, 2006 and 2007, because

of dry conditions. The aim of this study was to assess the potential of using sewage sludge as an alternative

to nitrogen fertilizer, and to determine nutrients and heavy metals of the plant in Grass-legume Mixtures. Sewage

sludge was applied in spring or autumn in two separate periods. The experimental design was Split-plot, completely

randomized blok design with 4 replication. Main-Plot was determined by application time (spring and autumn), and

also sub-plot was determined by the application (control, N-fertilizer, Sewage Sludge-1, Sewage Sludge-2, Sewage

Sludge-3).

Application time (spring and Autumn) of sewage sludge was not an effective factor on dry matter yield, and N, P,

K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Cr and Ni content. Years and application time interaction of dry matter yield was

statistically significant. The highest dry matter yield was obtained in the 3rd year and the autumn application of

sewage sludge. According to control and nitrogen fertilizers, Sewage sludge increased the dry matter yield, N, K,

Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd and Cr contents in Grass-legume Mixtures. This study showed that sewage sludge may be used as

a nitrogen source for Grass-legume Mixtures production.

Araştırma, 2004-2007 yılları arasında Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi deneme alanında kurulmuştur. Deneme kurak şartlarda kurulduğundan dolayı 2005-2006 ve 2007 yıllarında yılda bir biçim yapılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın amacı, buğdaygil-baklagil karışımlarının ağır metal ve besin maddesi birikimlerine azot gübrelemesine alternatif olarak kullanılan arıtma çamurunun etkilerini belirlemektir. Arıtma çamuru ilkbahar ve sonbahar olmak üzere iki ayrı dönemde uygulanmıştır. Deneme 4 tekerrürlü Bölünmüş Parseller deneme desenine göre kurulmuştur. Ana parsellere uygulama zamanı (İlkbahar ve Sonbahar), Alt parsellere ise uygulamalar (Kontrol, Azot gübresi, Arıtma çamuru 1, Arıtma çamuru 2, Arıtma çamuru 3) olarak belirlenmiştir.Arıtma çamuru Uygulama zamanı (İlkbahar ve Sonbahar), kuru madde verimi ve bitkinin N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cr ve Ni içeriğine etkisi önemli olmamıştır. “Yıl x Uygulama zamanı” interaksiyonu kuru madde verimi üzerine etkisi önemli olmuştur. En yüksek kuru madde verimi denemenin 3. yılında ve sonbaharda uygulanan arıtma çamuru uygulamasından elde edilmiştir. Kontrol ve Azot uygulamasına göre, arıtma çamuru buğdaygil-baklagil karışımlarının kuru madde verimi ve bitkinin N, K, Zn, Cu, Pb, Cd ve Cr içeriğini artırmıştır.Bu araştırma, arıtma çamurunun buğdaygil-baklagil karışımlarında bir azot kaynağı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir
