This research was carried out to
determine the effects of different growing mediums on dry and wet root weight,
dry and wet stem weight, root and stem lenght of corn in the Soil Since
Department of Agriculture Faculty, Atatürk University. In this research, pure
materials of soil, pumice, perlite and torf, and mixtures of 50% + 50 %pumice +
soil, 50 %+ 50 %perlite + soil, 50 %+ 50 %torf + soil were used as growing
mediums.
As to the findings of this study; the
effects of different growing mediums on the root and stem dry weight, root and
stem length of corn were found to be statistically significant but root and stem
weight nosignificant. According to the
result, the highest valuees of dry root weight ( 0.78 g/pot), wet root weight (2.00 g/pot),
dry stem weight ( 0.92 g/pot) wet stem weight ( 11.44 g/pot), root
length ( 200 cm/pot), stem length ( 272 cm/pot) were obtanied from the pots in
which pumice + soil 50 % + 50% was used. The lowest value were determined from
the pots containing pumice, perlite and torf 100%. As a result, it was
determined that the best root and stem development of corn was in 50% + 50% Pumice
+ Soil environment.
