Konvansiyonel ve organik çay tarımı uygulamalarının bazı toprak kalite parametreleri ve erozyona duyarlılık üzerine etkileri

Abstract

This research was carried out to determine the effects of organic and inorganic tea farming practices on some soil quality parameters and erodibility under Rize province condition. The study was done using 40 surface soil samples (0-20 cm) taken from the orchards having organic and conventional tea farming practices located on the same line and different positions. According to the analyses of the soil samples and evaluations, effects of organic and conventional farm practices on soil quality parameters were influenced by the positions. Generally, it was seen that the samples from the plots located at high elevation were rich with clay and organic matter contents and more resist to erodibility. The plots having conventional farm practices had more suitable soil quality conditions compared with the plots having organic farm practices.
