Effects of Use of Farm Manure, Microbial Fertilizer and Plant Activator on Macro Element Content of Leaves in Organic Tomato Growing

16161

This study was carried out in 2005-2006 years in open field conditions to compare the effects of conventional and organic production systems on the plant nutrient uptake in tomato growing. In this work, four different doses (0-7-14-21 m3/da) of the farm manure applications were compared in both conventional and organic production. Also, two plant activators (Crop-Set and ISR 2000), two microbial fertilizers (Bionem and Natural Bioplasma) and all combinations of these two were investigated in order to determine their effects on nutrient uptake in organic tomato production. There were important variations observed among the application with respect to N (% 2.76-3.65), P (1.49-2.33 mg/g), K (17.00-20.13 mg/g), Ca (24.81-36.02 mg/g) and Mg (2.27-3.38 mg/g) contents.
