Abstract

This research was carried out in the Keyfoturağı area of Menteşe district of Muğla province in 2021 to examine the effects of different fertilizer doses with algae on the grass yield and plant nutrient content of Italian grass (Lolium multiflorum attain). The fertilizer applications as algae (A, DynaMix) and algae + fertilizer 1 (A+F1), algae + fertilizer 2 (A+F2) were applied at different rates to Italian grass plant. Then, the whole plant sample is taken for nine days from the first day and the plants were analyzed for the nutrient contents. The data of the applications, leaf sampling times and application x leaf sampling times were statistically analyzed. According to the results of the research, The effect of moisture, nitrogen (N), potassium (K), calcium (Ca), magnesium (Mg), sodium (Na), sülfür (S), boron (B), zinc (Zn), copper (Cu), iron (Fe) and manganese (Mn) contents in the plant were found to be statistically significant (p<0.01). The highest moisture in A and A+F1 applications, the highest N, Ca, and Mn contents at A+F1 application and the highest S, B, Zn, Cu, and Fe contents at A+F2 application, with the highest K content at A and Na content at control application were determined.
