Evaluation of Nutritional Status of Pepper and Cucumber Plants Grown in Greenhouse in Şanlıurfa-Karaali District by Soil and Plant Analysis

Abstract

In this study was conducted to determine of the status of nutritional status with soil and leaf analyses in the greenhouses of made growth paper and cucumber of single crop enterprises the geothermal greenhouses situated in strict Karaali-Şanlıurfa. For this purpose, samples of soil and plants were taken middle of growth season. In samples of soils were made texture, soil reaction, electrical conductivity, lime, organic matter, total nitrogen, available phosphorus, iron, zinc, manganese and cooper, exchangeable potassium, calcium, magnesium. In samples of plants were determined total nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc, manganese and cooper content. According to research results; soil of pepper and cucumber grown in greenhouse have been determined that heavy textured, slightly alkaline character, lime is high level and poor in organic matter content and pepper grown in greenhouses where has salinity problems. According to results of soil and leaf analysis, greenhouses have unsufficient of nutrients of phosphorus, potassium and iron in general and local greenhouse have unsufficient of nitrogen, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper and manganese. It is recommended that these nutrition problems can be solved with fertilizer programs applications which are based on the analysis of soil, plant and water analysis with applications of soil and foliar fertilizations.
