Effect of seedlings obtained from different growing media on tobacco growth and mineral nutrition

Abstract

In this study it was aimed to investigate the effect of seedlings grown on different seedling growing media on growth and nutrient concentrations of tobacco plant. For this reason, study was carried out in two stages. At first stage, seedlings were growth in different growing media (manure, compost, turf and vermicompost) that were mixed with the soils at rate of 1/1 (volume/volume). At second stage, these seedlings were transferred to the pots containing 4 kg of soil under greenhouse condition and left for growth during 3 months. Seedling growth and nutrient concentrations varied with the seedling growing media. Also tobacco plant growth and mineral composition showed changes depending on seedling’s origin. Results showed that the most favorable seedling growing media was found to be as manure + soil mixture.

Farklı yetiştirme ortamlardan elde edilen fidelerin tütünün gelişimi ve besin elementi içeriklerine etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada farklı ortamlarda yetiştirilen tütün fidelerinin tütünün gelişimi ve besin elementi içeriklerine etkisini incelemek amaçlanmıştır. Bu nedenle araştırma iki aşamalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Birinci aşamada farklı fide ortamlarının( ahır gübresi, kompost, torf ve vermikompost) toprak ile olan 1/1 (hacim/hacim) karışımından oluşan ortamlarda tütün fideleri yetiştirilmiştir. İkinci aşamada ise bu fideler sera koşullarında 4 kg toprak alan saksılara aktarılarak 3 ay süreyle gelişime bırakılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, fide gelişimi ve fidelerin mineral beslenme durumlarının, ortamlarının özelliğine göre değiştiği görülürken; fide ortamı ve fide özelliklerinin de asıl bitkinin verim ve mineral beslenmesini etkilediği saptanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar en iyi fide ortamının ahır gübresi + toprak karışımı olduğunu göstermiştir.
