Effect of Vermicompost on Macro and Micro Nutrients of Lettuce (Lactuca Sativa Var. Crispa) Under Salt Stress Conditions
Abstract
This study was conducted in order to determine the
effect of vermicompost (V) on macro and micro nutrients of lettuce (Lactuca sativa Var. crispa) exposed to salt stress (SS). V doses; 0 (V0), 2.5% (V1) and
5% (V2) (w/w) and salt stress levels; control (SS0) (0 dS m-1 NaCl),
medium salt stress (SS4) (4 dS m-1 NaCl), severe salt stress (SS8)
(8 dS m-1 NaCl) were used. In order to make evaluation in terms of
the nutrients, plants were kept under controlled conditions (relative
humidity 50-55%, daytime/night time temperature 24/20 °C) in
the greenhouse for 46 days (May 24 and July 10, 2017).
While the medium and severe salt stress decreased the P, K, Mg, Fe, Mn and Zn
concentrations of plants significantly, compared to the control, it caused
increase in N and Na concentration. While Na decreased due to the V, other
mineral element concentrations increased significantly and these increases were
found more effective in 5% V application. The effect of SS x V interaction was
statistically significant in terms of N, P, Mg, Na, Fe, Mn and Zn, whereas it
was found insignificant for K, Ca and Cu. It was shown that in lettuce growing,
V applications in areas with salinity problems could contribute to reducing the
toxic effects of salinity on the plant and improving the imbalance in nutrient
intake.
