“…This is in agreement with the findings of [29] who indicated that Potassium plays several roles in plant metabolism, and to perform these roles positively, it should interact positively with other essential nutrients. Potassium plays an important role in many biochemical and physiological processes in crop plants [30,54]. Among these processes rapid assimilation of absorbed NH 4 + ions, ensure pH stabilization, osmoregulation, membrane transport processes, and enzyme activation.…”

Appropriate fertilization practices based on actual limiting nutrients and crop requirement for a given crop is economic and judicious use of fertilizers for sustainable crop production. In view of this, a study was conducted at Kejo and Ongobo farmers' fields, located at GobuSeyo District of East Wollega Zone of Oromia region in 2011 to evaluate the effects of blended fertilizers for maize production. The five treatments used for the field experiment were control (without fertilizer), recommended NP, recommended NP + Cu + Zn, blended fertilizer and blended fertilizer + Cu+ Zn. The treatments were laid out in RCBD design with four replications. The results of the study revealed that the analysis of variance among fertilizers types showed significant differences (P ≤ 0.05) on almost all the maize characters tested. However, applied Cu and Zn to either of the recommended NP fertilizers or blended fertilizer showed no significant difference on maize agronomic characters and yield except leaf area. The shortest mean days to 50% tasseling (85.25), silking (87.25) and maturity (154.25) of maize were obtained from blended fertilizers with Cu and Zn, whereas the longest days were recorded for the control plot. The maximum mean grain yield (8399.7 kg ha-1), stover yield (8553.1 kg ha-1) and total biomass yield (16867.7 kg ha-1) were recorded for blended fertilizers with Cu and Zn, whereas the lowest mean grain yield (2824.8 kg ha-1) were recorded for control. Blended fertilizers had improved grain nutrient uptakes and agronomic efficiency of maize. It was also apparent that much of the nutrients applied were assimilated by the grain than that achieved by the stover. The result of the study showed that blended fertilizers increased maize productivity compared to the previously existing NP fertilizers in the country and appropriate fertilization practices can improve the current situation.

“…A adequada oferta de nutrientes reflete em maior desenvolvimento dos órgãos vegetativos e reprodutivos, uma vez que essas substâncias fazem parte do complexo sistema fisiológico das plantas e seus processos, tais como a fotossíntese, produção de proteínas, ativação de enzimas, divisão e expansão celular, entre outros (Taiz et al, 2017). Para plantas de Zinnia elegans, observa-se resposta positiva no desenvolvimento vegetativo e na qualidade das flores com a utilização de fertilizantes minerais e orgânicos (Chattopadhyay, 2014;Elhindi et al, 2016;Mladenović et al, 2015;Sultana et al, 2015), aumentando seu valor de comercialização.…”

“…Portanto, estes devem ser compostos por elementos que favoreçam o adequado desenvolvimento, favorecendo às características de valor comercial das espécies, tais como flores, folhas, entre outros. No caso específico da espécie Zinnia elegans, observa-se grande variação das características biométricas dos órgãos vegetativos e das flores, dependendo das condições de cultivo, com destaque para o substrato utilizado durante seu desenvolvimento (Sardoei et al, 2014;Sultana et al, 2015;Pallavi et al, 2017).…”

“…Substratos orgânicos, naturalmente ricos em nutrientes, podem incrementar as características requeridas para a comercialização. Nesse sentido, verificou-se que a utilização de vermicomposto junto ao substrato elevou as características biométricas de plantas de Zinnia elegans, comparativamente à fertilização com adubo mineral (Sultana et al, 2015).…”

O estudo objetivou avaliar a produção de mini plantas de Zinnia elegans em substratos com diferentes concentrações de composto a base de resíduo de agroindústria. Para a condução do experimento, utilizou-se delineamento inteiramente casualizado, com nove repetições. Os tratamentos foram compostos por cinco diferentes concentrações de substrato Ecosolo® (0, 25, 50, 75 e 100%), em que se realizou o cultivo de Zinnia elegans. Foram avaliadas as características de altura de planta, diâmetro do colo, número de folhas, diâmetro de flor e número de pétalas. Com exceção do número de folhas, todas as variáveis foram incrementadas linearmente, conforme foi elevada a participação do Ecosolo® na formação do substrato. Desta maneira, concluiu-se que o Ecosolo® substitui parcialmente ou totalmente o substrato turfoso na produção de mini plantas de Z. elegans, incrementando as características biométricas conforme se elevam as concentrações do produto.

“…On the other hand, Sönmez et al (2013) observed that the highest leaf length (47.9 cm), the highest plant length (70.6 cm), and the highest leaf length 30.78 mm) was obtained in waste mushroom compost application, in the case of gladioli plant. Sultana et al (2015b) observed that the results showed that the rate of effects within NPK fertilizers and worm fertilizer treatments were not found significant on leaf length of (Zinnia elegans) flowers. However, Keisam et al (2014) observed that leaf length of gladioli was greatly influenced by different combinations of organic and inorganic fertilizers.…”

This research was carried out in order to determine the effects of worm fertilizer and nitrogenphosphorus fertilizer dosage differences on flowering of hyacinth as a bulbous ornamental plant from 2016 to 2017 in Siirt University, Turkey. Solid worm fertilizer was applied at dosages of 25 g/bulb (V1), 50 g/bulb (V2), 75 g/bulb (V3) and 2 kg/decare (NP1), 4 kg/decare (NP2), 8 kg/decare (NP3) Nitrogen-Phosphorus (NP) were applied during the growth of hyacinth (Hyacinthus orientalis L. cv. "Purple Star"). According to the results, the lowest (the earliest time) mean values of the first flowering time, full flowering time, and harvest time were obtained as 135.25 days, 136.54 days, and 137.70 days in V1 treatment, respectively. The highest mean value on leaf number (5.71), leaf length (128.21 mm), stalk thickness (13.50 mm), and floret diameter (28.14 mm) were determined in V1. The highest mean values belong to flower diameter (66.96 mm) and length (116.33 mm) were evaluated in V2 and V3, respectively. Among NP fertilizers, in NP1 the highest mean value on floret number (37.69) while in NP2 the highest mean value on floret length (26.76 mm) were obtained. The highest mean values on leaf diameter and plant height were found as 28.86 mm and 179.54 mm in NP3 treatment. As a result, it has been determined that the hyacinth can be grown with worm fertilization without chemical fertilizer use under ecological conditions of Siirt province. Considering the adverse effects of chemical fertilizers on the environment, it is proved that there are no statistically significant differences between them and the worm fertilizer, which is a bio-fertilizer.
