The Effects of Sugar Industry Waste First Carbonification Sludge as Liming Material to Tea Plants the Yield, Quality and Soil Properties
Abstract
This study has been carried out in order to determine the changes which the first carbonification sludge will be able to bringout in the chemical structure of the soil and how much will be used in acidic soils in tea plantations in stead of lime. There search have been carried out in three locations with different pH in Rize Centre and İyidere towns in 2009-2011 years. The plantations have been set up in randomized blocks with three repetitions. In trials, lime and first carbonification sludge has increased tea leaf yield in P<0.05 and P<0.01 importance levels and the highest yield has been obtained from first carbonate sludge application (D subject) as much as the lime requirement. The first carbonification sludge application has increased the fresh tea leaf yield at the rate of 22.9 percentage in Çaykur Research Institute, at the rate of 13.4 percentage in İyidere-1 locationand at the rate of 18.6 in İyidere-2 location. In Çaykur Institute location, positive relationship has been determined between the soil pH and Ca (r=0.53*) and negative relationship has been determined between the soil pH and zinc (r=-0.55*). In İyidere-1 location, positive relationship has been determined between the soil pH and changeable Ca (r=0.74**) and negative relationship has been determined between the soil pH and aluminum (r=-0.62*). In İyidere-2 location, a considerable negative relationship has been determined between the soil pH and iron (r=-0.65**) and zinc (r= -0.55**).
