Özet

This study was conducted to determine the effects of different vermicompost doses on plant growth, quality properties and element contents in curly lettuce ( Lactuca sativa L. var. crispa). The research was carried out in pots under plastic greenhouse conditions in Karabuk province. In the study, 6 applications as 4 different doses of vermicompost (V), chemical fertilizer (CF) and control were examined. The applications were as follows: 1) Control (100% soil), 2) V1 (97.5% soil + 2.5% vermicompost, w/w), 3) V2 (95% soil + 5% vermicompost, w/w), 4) V3 (90% soil + 10% vermicompost, w/w), 5) V4 (80% soil + 20% vermicompost, w/w) and 6) CF (100% soil + chemical fertilizer). The experiment was established in completely randomized design with 3 replications. According to the research findings, vermicompost applications significantly increased plant height, plant fresh weight, plant dry weight, number of marketable leaves, chlorophyll, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, sodium, iron, copper, and zinc contents of the plant compared with the control. When compared to the control, V1 application increased plant fresh weight by 13.25% and phosphorus content by 44.07%; V2 application increased potassium content by 24.29%; V3 application increased plant height by 13.77%, chlorophyll content by 22.30% and nitrogen content by 53.23%; V4 application increased magnesium content by 48.46%, calcium content by 14.36% and zinc content by 16.19%. It was detected that vermicompost had positive effects on plant growth, quality properties and element contents in curly lettuce. As a result, vermicompost can be used successfully as an alternative organic fertilizer for sustainable agriculture in curly lettuce cultivation.
