Toprak Biyolojik Aktivitesinin Sürdürülmesi: Genişletilmiş Azaltılmış ve Sıfır Toprak İşlemenin Rolü

Öz

Toprak yönetimi tekniklerinin çeşitli toprak özellikleri üzerinde farklı etkileri olabilir. Bu çalışmada 14 yıl boyunca çeşitli toprak işleme tekniklerinin toprak özelliklerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Deney, Akdeniz ikliminin hâkim olduğu bir bölgede yer alan Çukurova Üniversitesi Araştırma İstasyonu'nda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma, uzun süreli yedi farklı toprak işleme uygulaması altında toprağın organik madde (SOM) içeriği, toprak solunumu (SR), dehidrogenaz enzim aktivitesi (DHA) ve toprak sıcaklığındaki (ST) değişiklikleri değerlendirmeyi amaçlamıştır. Sonuçlar, geleneksel toprak işleme uygulamalarıyla karşılaştırıldığında koruyucu toprak işleme altında SOM (%17-115), SR (%19-37) ve DHA'da (%63-142) önemli artışlar (p≤0.05) göstermiştir. Ek olarak, anızları yakılmış geleneksel toprak işleme, ölçülen tüm parametrelerde en düşük değerleri göstermiştir. Mevsim değişimleri de incelenen parametreleri önemli ölçüde (p≤0.05) etkilemiştir. Bu bulgular, geleneksel toprak işleme uygulamalarının incelenen biyolojik aktiviteler üzerinde olumsuz bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ve anız yakmanın bu etkiyi daha da artırdığını göstermektedir. Farklı toprak işleme tekniklerinin uzun vadeli etkilerini çeşitli bitki rotasyonları ve toprak koşulları altında araştırmak, bölgedeki tarımsal üretimin sürdürülebilir gelişimine katkıda bulunabilir.

Sustaining Soil Biological Activity: The Role of Extended Reduced and No-Tillage Techniques

Abstract

Soil management techniques can have varying effects on various soil properties. This study investigated the impact of various tillage techniques on soil properties for 14 years. The experiment was conducted at the Çukurova University Research Station, located in a region with a dominant Mediterranean climate. The research aimed to assess the changes in soil organic matter (SOM) content, soil respiration (SR), dehydrogenase enzyme activity (DHA), and soil temperature (ST) under seven different long-term tillage practices. The results revealed significant increases (p ≤ 0.05) in SOM (17-115%), SR (19-37%), and DHA (63-142%), under conservation tillage compared to conventional tillage practices. Additionally, conventional tillage with stubble burned consistently had the lowest values across all measured properties. Seasons variations also significantly (p≤0.05) affected the observed values. These findings suggest that conventional tillage practices have a negative effect on the analyzed biological activities, with stubble burning further exacerbating this impact. Further research exploring the long-term effects of different tillage practices under varying crop rotations and soil conditions can contribute to the sustainable development of agricultural production in the region.
