Abstract

The objective of this study
was to determine some biological parameters of red California worm (Eisenia fetida) in pesticides applied
vermicompost. The study conducted under in-vitro
conditions, as Randomized Block Design with five raplications. Commonly
used Granland®, Demond® and Safacol®
pesticides in Muş province (Turkey) were used as treatments. The temperature
and humidity ratio for the experiment were 20-29°C and 70 to 90%,
respectively.  The experiments were
resumed until the young worms hatched from a cocoon reproduced cocoons again.
For investigating the effect of the treatments on specific features One-Way
Analysis of Variance (One-way ANOVA) and for determining of different groups
TUKEY Multiple Comparison Test were used. 
Variance analysis indicated that there was no statistically differences
among fungicide doses in terms of worm weight
(P=0.113);
however, there were differences in terms of insecticide and herbicide doses
(P=0.000). It was detected that there were significant differences among
pesticide doses in respect to the cocoon and worm numbers (P=0.000).

Thanks

I would like to thank to Prof. Dr. Mehmet MENDEŞ for his help in the interpretations of the statistical analyses for the study. This study constitutes a part of a Master thesis (Some Biological Parameters of Eisenia foetida Grown in Pesticide Treated Vermicomposts, by author Birgül ILIKHAN, Bitlis Eren University).

Pestisit Uygulanmış Vermikompostta Eisenia fetida (Savigny, 1826)’nın Bazı Biyolojik Parametreleri

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı,
pestisit uygulanmış vermikompostlarda kırmızı Kaliforniya solucanının (Eisenia fetida) bazı biyolojik parametrelerini belirlemektir. Çalışma in-vitro şartlarda, Tesadüf Parselleri
Deneme Düzeninde 5 tekerrürlü olarak yapılmıştır. Pestisit muamelesinde, Muş
ilinde çokça kullanılan bazı pestisitler (Granland®, Demond®
ve Safacol®)  kullanılmıştır.
Deney ortamının sıcaklığı 20-29oC ve nem oranı %70-90 arasında
tutulmuş ve deney, kokonlardan çıkan yavru bireylerin tekrar kokon vermesine
kadar devam etmiştir. Muamelelerinin belirlenen özelliklere etkisinin
araştırılmasında Tek Yönlü Varyans Analizi Tekniğinden (One-way ANOVA), farklı
grupların belirlenmesinde ise TUKEY Çoklu Karşılaştırma Testi’nden
yararlanılmıştır. Yapılan varyans analizi sonucunda; solucan ağırlığı
bakımından
fungisit dozları arasında istatistiksel olarak önemli farkların
bulunmadığı (P=0.113), buna karşın insektisit ve herbisit dozları bakımından
söz konusu farkların önemli olduğu görülmüştür (P=0.000).  Kokon ve solucan sayıları bakımından ise
pestisit dozları arasında önemli farkların bulunduğu tespit edilmiştir
(P=0.000).
