The study was carried out in a randomized plot design with three replications, with 4 pots in each replication and 3 plants in each pot. A total of 10 applications consisting of liquid compost (25%- 50%), vermicompost (25%-50%), and humic acid (600-1200 ppm) and combining these applications were applied to Zinnia seedlings. The first application was applied as 400 mL per pot when the plants reached 20 cm in size. Applications were made 3 times with an interval of 7 days. When the plants are harvested, flower diameter (mm), stem thickness (mm), number of flowers (piece), stem length (cm), number of branches (pieces), the weight of branches (g), number of leaves (pieces), root length ( cm), root fresh weight (g), root dry weight (g), vase life (days) parameters were examined. As a result of the study, the highest flower diameter (72.27 mm) and SPAD value (34.93) was 600 ppm humic acid application, the highest flower stem thickness (4.67) and flower stem length (45.56 cm) 25% liquid compost + 25% vermicompost application, the highest flower stem thickness (4.67). The number of flowers (6.17 pieces) and root wet weight (8.10 g) were found in 25% vermicompost application, the highest number of branches (7,25) in 1200 ppm humic acid application, the highest branch weight (30.76) in 50% vermicompost application. As a result, it was observed that in applications where 25% of vermicompost was used, it had positive effects on the number of leaves, flowering, and root parameters. In humic acid applications, it has been found to have a positive effect when used at low rates such as 600 ppm. It is stated in the results of the study that the doses used togive better results when applied at low rates.

Bu çalışmada; ülkemizde ve dünyada en çok kullanılan bitki besleme ve toprak düzenleyici ürünlerden biri olan humik asitin üretiminde, geleneksel karıştırma metodları yerine kaotik sistemler kullanılarak, ürün kalitesi, homojenlik, zaman ve enerji tasarrufu gibi önemli kriterler açısından karıştırıcıların verimlerini arttırmak hedeflenmiştir. Kaotik sistemlerin bu özelliklerinden yola çıkılarak deneysel çalışmalar için; tüm fonksiyonları HMI (Human Machine Interface) operatör panel tarafından kontrol edilebilen, PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) kontrollü bir karıştırıcı tasarlanarak imalatı gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bu karıştırıcıda, su, leonardit ve potasyum hidroksit (KOH) karıştırılarak, sıvı humik asit elde edilmiştir. Karıştırma işlemi için literatürden farklı dinamik özelliklerde kaotik sistemler seçilmiştir. Bu kaotik sistemlerin diferansiyel denklemleri, Labview programında geliştirilen bir ara yüz programında Runge Kutta 45 (RK45) sayısal çözüm algoritmasına göre çözdürülerek her kaotik sistemin kaotik zaman serisi sonuçları elde edilmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, PLC cihazına yazılan program ile frekans verilerine dönüştürülerek frekans invertörüne bağlı karıştırıcı motorun, seçilen kaotik sistemlere göre değişken hızlarda dönmesi sağlanmıştır. Aynı karışım geleneksel yöntemlerle (sabit hız) de elde edilerek, ürün kalitesi, çözünen madde oranı, pH değerleri ve toplam enerji tüketimi açısından karşılaştırmaları yapılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre; kaotik sistemler kullanılarak yapılan karıştırmanın, ürün kalitesi, homojenlik, zaman, enerji tasarrufu gibi kriterler açısından geleneksel karıştırma yöntemlerine göre daha verimli olduğu gözlemlenmiştir.

Greenhouse tomato production is in the first place in Turkey, 34% of total tomato production (3.614.472 tonnes) is under greenhouse conditions. The increase in yield in Turkey is due to the spread of undergrowth cultivation besides the use of qualified varieties and seeds. Synthetic fertilizers can’t be used to obtain economic efficiency in underground organic tomato growing Therefore, the application of alternative fertilizers (barn stubble, green manure, organic fertilizer, vermicompost etc.) needs to be improved. For this purpose, effect of the eight different fertilizer combination including organic and worm liquid fertilizer, humic acid and mycorrhizae applications on tomato plant and fruit yield were investigated in the study. Negative check without any fertilizer application growing and a positive check; a synthetic liquid fertilizer application was included. Experiment was set up according to completely randomised block design with 3 replications under greenhouse conditions. Tomato fruit length, diameter and weight was determined as fruit yield and fresh and dry weight as plant yield. There was not any statistical difference among fertilizer applications for fruit and plant yield. However, the highest tomato fruit yield was obtained in the treatments of organic (7.17 kg/ plot) and worm fertilizers (4,80 kg/ plot) in combination with mycorrhizae. The results were similar for fruit diameter and length. Plant fresh and dry weight was between 2.01 to 5.92 and 0.368 to 1.153 kg, respectively. The highest plant weight was belong to mycorrhizae and organic fertilizer application.

In this study, it was aimed to demonstrate the effect of humic acid applications on some morphological, physiological and biochemical characteristics of eggplant genotypes (Burdur Merkez, Burdur Bucak, Kemer and Giresun) irrigated with the irrigation water with a high content of heavy metal and determined previously salt tolerance levels. In studies conducted in controlled greenhouse conditions, eggplant seeds germinated in the growth substrate a mixture of peat and perlite and the seedlings were transplanted into pots at 20 days after sowing. Plants when they are 4-5 true leaves, 3 different humic acid levels (0, 500, 1000 ppm) have been applied and 7 days later after this application began to be watered with 3 different irrigation water comprising a mixture of various doses of heavy metals (control: 0 ppm; I. Mixture: 0.2 ppm 5 ppm to 0.01 ppm Cd + Cu + Pb + 2 ppm Zn, II. mixture: +0.02 ppm 0.4 ppm Cu 10 ppm Pb + Cd + 4 ppm Zn). Field capacity level for the plants 40 days after quenched with water after which time they were harvested and samples for analysis were performed. In the study plants were investigated for shoot and root fresh weight, shoot and root dry weight, shoot and root length, leaf area, chlorophyll and MDA level of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), ascorbate peroxidase (APX) and glutathione reductase (GR) enzyme activities All genotypes are adversely affected by heavy metal applications. In parallel to increase the dose, heavy metal mixtures led to a reduction in values of fresh and dry weight of shoot and root, stem and root length, leaf area of eggplant genotypes. MDA and antioxidative enzyme activities increased in plants irrigated with water containing a mixture of heavy metal. Humic acid applications had a positive effect on reducing of the limiting effect of heavy metal stress on growth and development. As a result, compared to sensitive genotypes Giresun and Kemer, salt tolerant genotypes Burdur Merkez and Burdur Bucak showed much better resistance to abiotic stress factor which consists of heavy metal applications. The obtained results; formed also an opinion about that plants evolved similar strategies for resistance to abiotic stresses such as salinity, drought and heavy metal stress.
