Determining the Effects of Sewage Sludge and Rhizobium Inoculation on Nutrient and Heavy Metal Content of Lentil (Lens Culinaris Medic.)

Abstract

This study investigates the effects of increasing doses of sewage sludge with Rhizobium inoculation on lentil (Lens culinaris Medic.) straw and grain macro, micro and heavy metal contents in 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 growing seasons. Experiment was conducted as a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. At the end of the study, it was seen that Rhizobium inoculation affects the N, Mg, and Pb contents of the lentil straw on by P<0.05, P and Ca contents by P<0.
