Fertilizer Use Efficiencies of Some Greenhouse Plants Grown under Farmer PracticesNutrient Uptakes and N, P, K and Ca Utilization Rates of Some Plants Grown Under Greenhouse Conditions According to Farmer Practices

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to determine the uptakes of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu and utilization rates of N, P, K and Ca by cauliflower, lettuce, leek, onion and radish plants grown under greenhouse conditions depending on the farmer practices. For this reason, the breeding practices and fertilization program of the farmers were taken as the basis. The research was continued until the harvest period of each plant. According to the results of the analysis, significant differences (P<0.01) were found in examined parameters between the fertilized and non-fertilized treatments. Based on the nutrient uptake of the plants, it was seen that the radish plant removed the highest nutrient and the onion removed the least nutrient in both conditions. Considering the fertilizer nutrient utilization rates of plants as percentage for N, P, K, and Ca were 5.61, 4.31, 14.30, 75.30 for cauliflower; 11.39, 13.50, 38.70 and 22.31 for lettuce; 8.32, 8.06, 17.90, 43.0 for leek; 2.79, 2.50, 7.10, 41.80 for onion and 23.10, 33.83, 81.50 and 335 for radish plant. Although the applied fertilizers had a positive effect on the yield and nutrient concentrations of the plants, utilization rates were found to be quite low especially for N, P, and K. These results showed that these plants grown under greenhouse conditions according to farmer treatments were not fertilized properly.
