Abstract

The present
research has been contented to determine the effects of the increased leonardite
application on the some macro and micro nutrient elements of pak choi (Brassica
rapa L. subsp. var. Chinensis L.)
plant. The research was designed as 3 replications according to the randomized
block experimental design. Leonardite was applied to the parcels with 4 doses
and as the 1^st dose: 0 ppm m^-2, the 2^nd dose:
60 ppm m^-2, the 3^rd dose: 120 ppm m^-2and the 4^th
dose: 150 ppm m^-2. According to research results, the total N content of the plant samples were determined of 5.43 %, 5.58
%, 5.69 %, and
5.73 % for four leonardite doses respectively. The contents were determined as P (0.40 %, 0.42 %, 0.41
%, 0.41 %); K (5.49 %, 5.73 %, 5.83
%, 6.01 %); Ca (1.85 %, 1.91 %, 2.06
%, 2.29 %); Mg (0.12 %, 0.13 %,
0.13 %, 0.14 %);
and S (3.39 %, 4.65 %, 4.83 %,
4.84 %) and some micro elements
contents were obtained as Fe
(96, 110, 112, 120 mgkg^-1); Cu
(5, 8, 18, 24 mgkg^-1); Mn
(12, 16, 22, 94 mgkg^-1); and Zn
(32, 34, 36, 37 mgkg^-1) for four doses, respectively.
According to the results, the effects
of the increasing doses of the leonardite application on some macro and micro
nutrient elements contents of pak choi plant were determined statistically
significant. These increases were found to be significant at the level of 5 %
statistical degree, except P and Mg nutrient elements.
