Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effect of increasing pellet farmyard manure on mineral nutrition of rye (Secale cerale L.) plant. For this purpose, a pot experiment was established in greenhouse conditions with three replications. Five farmyard manure doses (FM0: 0 %, FM1: 4 %, FM2, 8 %, FM3: 12 % and FM4: 16 %) were applied to pots a month prior to sowing. Nitrogen (14 kg N da-1), phosphorus (8 kg P2O5 da-1 and potassium (5 kg K2O da-1) were applied to each pot from NH4NO3 and KH2PO4 fertilizers. Rye (Secale cerale L.) was harvested 60 day after planting and dry matter yield and some macro and micro element (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn) contents of plants were determined. According to the results, significant increases of dry matter yield of plants were determined with increasing farmyard manure applications. Also, increasing farmyard manure application on N, P, K, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn contents of rye (Secale cerale L.) were found statistically significant at the level of 5 %.

Highlights

  • In the last century, the developed countries, that were trying to solve the nutrition problem of humanity, have proposed to use fertilizers that are more chemical on unit area in order to increase productivity in agriculture

  • Even the yields may have increased by the application of more chemical fertilizers on the unit area; this caused serious impairment of product quality, environmental pollution, especially the pollution of natural sources, notably soil and water resources, and important health problems on the living beings

  • There was no significant change among the doses of the applied of increasing amounts of manure in terms of the Ca and Mg contents of the rye plant (Secale cerale L.) compared to control

Summary

Introduction

The developed countries, that were trying to solve the nutrition problem of humanity, have proposed to use fertilizers that are more chemical on unit area in order to increase productivity in agriculture. A study was conducted in France to determine the necessity of absolute use of farmyard manure in order to increase the organic material of the agricultural soils (Le villo et al, 2004). The effects of increasing amounts of pellet farmyard manure application on the mineral nutrition of the rye plant (Secale cerale L.) were determined in this study.
