THE EFFECT OF VERMICOMPOST ON YIELD OF TOMATO (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) IN THE FIELD CONDITION IN ÇAYCUMA DISTRICT

Öz

Vermicompost is an organic manure thas is produced by the mesophilic activity of the compost worms mostly Eisenia fetida species. The usage of this fertilizers has recenly been increased in Turkey. However, a few scientific study has conducted regarding the effect of it on the yield of crops. Our study aims to research the effect of vermicompost on the tomato yield (Solanum Lycopersicum L.) on a field in Zonguldak city, Çaycuma district in the year 2018 vegetation period. This study was conducted in 5 groups in the field conditions with 3 replications. The effect of five different manure application was investigated. Groups; I.) Control, II.) Farm manure (2.5 t/da), III.) Farm manure + chemical fertilizers full dose (100%), N:P:K (18:42:16 kg/da), IV.) Vermicompost (0.5 t/da), V.). Vermicompost + chemical fertilizers half dose (50%), N:P:K (9:21:8 kg/da). F1-troy variety tomato seedlings were planted in May 2018. Tomatoes were gained in three distinct harvest periods. Total weight and its numbers were calculated. One way variance analysis (ANOVA) with repeated measures and tukey post-hoc test were used for statistical analyses. Total fruit weight significantly increased in vermicompost groups in comparison to farm manure given groups (P < 0.05). In the first harvest, total fruit weight and its number significantly increased in vermicompost given groups compared to control (P < 0.05). The combination of farm manure with the full dose of chemical fertilizer (NPK, 100%) did not additionally increase tomato yield. However, the combination of vermicompost with the half doses of chemical fertilizer (NPK, 50%) further increase the tomato yield obtained by vermicompost (P < 0.05). These results have revealed that vermicompost is more effective than farm manure at increasing the yield of tomato. Vermicompost application provides the earliness in tomato harvest. The combination of vermicompost with NPK may increase tomato yield and provide the use of less chemical fertilizer.

SOLUCAN GÜBRESİNİN ÇAYCUMA İLÇESİNDE TARLA KOŞULLARINDA DOMATES (Solanum lycopersicum L.) BİTKİSİNİN VERİMİ ÜZERİNE ETKİLERİ

Öz

Çalışmamızın amacı, solucan gübresinin Zonguldak ili Çaycuma ilçesi tarla koşullarında 2018 vejetasyon periyodunda domates (Solanum lycopersicum L.) verimi üzerine etkisini araştırmaktır. Çalışma beş grup üç tekerrürde tarla koşullarında yapıldı. Beş farklı gübre uygulamasının etkisi araştırıldı. Gruplar; I.) Kontrol, II.) Çiftlik gübresi (2.5 t/da), III.) Çiftlik gübresi + kimyasal gübre-tam doz (%100) N:P:K (18:42:16 kg/da), IV.) Solucan gübresi (0.5 t/da), V.) Solucan gübresi + kimyasal gübre-yarı doz (%50) N:P:K (9:21:8 kg/da). F1-troy çeşidi domatesler 3 farklı hasat döneminde elde edildi. Toplam domates ağırlığı ve adetleri hesaplandı. Solucan gübresi verilen gruplarda toplam meyve ağırlığı, çiftlik gübresi verilen gruplara göre anlamlı artış gösterdi (P ˂ 0.05). Solucan gübresi verilen grupta ilk hasatta elde edilen toplam meyve sayısı ve ağırlığı kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı bir artış gösterdi (P ˂ 0.05). Çiftlik gübresinin tam doz kimyasal gübre (NPK, %100) ile kombinasyonu domates verim artışına ilave bir katkı sağlamadı. Bununla birlikte, solucan gübresi ile yarı doz kimyasal gübre kombinasyonu solucan gübresi ile elde edilen domates verimini daha da artırdı (P ˂ 0.05). Bu sonuçlar solucan gübresinin domates bitkisinin verimini artırmada çiftlik gübresine göre daha etkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Solucan gübresi uygulaması ürün veriminde erkencilik sağlamaktadır. Solucan gübresinin NPK ile kombinasyonu domates verimini artırarak daha az kimyasal gübre kullanımını sağlayabilir.
