Özet:

This study investigated the effect of using green manure plants as an alternative to chemical fertilization (Control) used as a base fertilizer on peppers growth and early yield values. In chemical base fertilizer application, 25 kg (15-15-15) compound fertilizer was applied per decare. The seeds of the broad bean (Vicia faba L.cv. Gölyaka) plant, which is used as a green manure plant, were sown and mixed into the soil during the whole florescence period. According to the results, the highest organic matter content in the soil was obtained with green manure application. In contrast, the N, P and K contents increased significantly (P<0.05) with chemical fertilization. Among the plant growth parameters, the highest plant height (48.6 cm) was obtained from green manure application. In contrast, the highest stem diameter (8.3 mm), number of fruits (38) and yield (326.5 g/plant) values were obtained from chemical fertilizer application. As a result, green manuring increases the amount of organic matter in the soil and will have positive effects in the long term. However, it has been determined that the use of chemical fertilizers positively affects development and productivity in the short term.
