“…Fruit firmness was significantly greater in compost treatments than control (Table 3). The highest value of fruit firmness was obtained at 15 t ha -1 treatment with 8.5 N, while the least fruit firmness was recorded in control with 5.8 N. This is in agreement with Riahi, et al (2009) andMccollum, et al (2005) who reported that organic tomato fruit were generally firm. Firm fruits do not lose too much juice when sliced and are less susceptible to physical damage in shipping.…”

In order to determine the effect of compost (CO) on antioxidant compounds and fruit quality of sweet pepper (Capsicum annum L.), an experiment was conducted in open field. Treatments consisted of four levels of compost (0, 5, 10 and 15 ton ha -1 ).The experiment was designed in randomized block design with three replications. Compost treatments positively affected fruit antioxidant compounds of pepper (antioxidant activity, total phenolic and carbohydrate content).But, no significant difference was found in total flavonoid content between compost and control treatments. The highest antioxidant activity and carbohydrate content were obtained in plants treated with10 ton ha -1 of compost. Fruit quality factors (pH, total soluble solids, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid and fruit firmness) were influenced by compost treatments. Total soluble solids, and fruit firmness significantly increased in response to compost treatments and the highest values were obtained from the most level of compost treatment (15 t ha -1 ). Thus, these results showed that compost has strong impact on fruit quality and antioxidant compounds of pepper plants under field conditions.

“…Suitable soil physical properties and good structure provide that a high water-holding capacity, moderate saturated hydraulic conductivity, and sufficient aeration for plant growth (Riahi et al, 2009 ). While the highest air permeability value in the soil samples was measured in alfalfa soil (91.79 µ²), the lowest value was identified in bean soil (28.88 µ²) ( Table 1).…”

Soil structure is one of the most important soil physical characteristics affecting on soil productivity. Structural development of soil is under the control of many inside and outside factors. It is expected that soil structural characteristics change with changes in plant pattern because of differentiations in agronomic properties, root system and amounts of organic matter incorporated into the soil. The objective of this study was to evaluate changes in structural behaviors of soils under different crop management systems. Soil samples collected from long-term (+10 years) experimental fields under different crop management systems; sun flower, wheat, bean, corn, potato and alfalfa, were analyzed for physical, chemical and mechanical properties and structural characteristics were evaluated. The results indicated that soil structural characteristics significantly changed depending on plant patterns. Structural conditions and aggregate stability were the highest in soils under alfalfa crops, but the worst in soils under potatoes and corn production.Keywords: Aggregate stability, cropping pattern, soil structure Farklı Bitki Yönetimi Altındaki Toprakların Strüktürel Ölçütlerindeki DeğişimlerÖZET: Toprak strüktürü, toprağın üretim potansiyelini belirleyen en önemli fiziksel ortam özelliklerinden biridir. Toprakta strüktürel gelişim birçok iç ve dış faktörün kontrolü altındadır. Farklı bitki yönetim uygulamaları bitkinin agronomik özellikleri, kök sistemi ve toprağa organik madde döngüsü farklılıkları dahilinde toprağın strüktürel durumunu önemli ölçüde etkilemektedir. Farklı bitki yönetimi altında bulunan toprakların yapısal özelliklerinde meydana gelen değişimlerin değerlendirmesi amacıyla yürütülen bu çalışmada; uzun yıllardan (+10 yıl) beri farklı bitki yetiştiriciliği (ayçiçeği, buğday, fasulye, mısır, patates ve yonca) altında bulunan deneme alanlarından alınan toprak örneklerinde fiziksel, kimyasal ve mekaniksel özellikler incelenerek yetiştirilen bitkilerin, toprağın strüktürel parametreleri üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular toprağın strüktürel parametrelerinde, yetiştirilen bitki çeşitliliğine bağlı olarak önemli farklılıkların meydana geldiğini göstermektedir. Strüktürel gelişim derecesi ve agregat stabilitesinin yonca ekim alanlarından alınan toprak örneklerinde en yüksek, patates ve mısır ekim alanlarından alınan toprak örneklerinde ise en düşük değerlerde olduğu saptanmıştır.

“…Lycopene, which comprises about 80%-90% of the total carotenoids of red ripe tomatoes is the most effective antioxidant among all carotenoids through its quenching activity of singlet oxygen and scavenging of peroxyl radicals [31,35,36]. Lycopene content is the most sought-after quality desired by the food industry and consumers [30]. The effect of organic fertilizers on the quality of field grown tomatoes has not been adequately studied [30] and therefore this study should be of significance.…”

“…The lycopene content was low in the eighth week but increased with the progress of the cultivation. Lycopene values in field-grown tomatoes obtained by different investigators ranged from 36 to 119.4 mg·kg −1 [30]. In the study of Hallmann et al (2012) [31], the conventional farm received more nitrogen (N) than the organic farm.…”

“…The lycopene was probably formed more rapidly in fruits protected by crop foliage [34]. High foliage density may have shielded tomato fruits from intense solar radiation and high temperatures reached during summer in Tunisia, thus promoting the synthesis of lycopene [30]. Understandably, the BBRDM-fertilized plants, which had more number of leaves and dense foliage (as counted during field studies, average number of leaves of BBRDM grown plants was 27 ± 1.43 and DAP + potash grown plants was 13 ± 1.9; according to the Student's t-test signifies that the difference of number of leaves between two treatments was highly significant at 1% level), contained more lycopene than the DAP + potash-fertilized ones that had lesser number of leaves and sparse foliage.…”

Environmental and health safety of recycled slaughterhouse wastes-derived fertilizer and the produce obtained through its application is not well understood. Waste bovine blood and rumen digesta were mixed, cooked and sun-dried to obtain bovine-blood-and-rumen-digesta-mixture (BBRDM, NPK 30.36:1:5.75). 1.26 ± 0.18 log CFU mL −1 fecal coliforms were recovered in BBRDM. E. coli O157:H7, Mycobacteria, Clostridium sp., Salmonella sp., Bacillus sp. and Brucella sp. were absent. No re-growth of pathogens was observed after 60 days storage in sealed bags and in the open. However, prions and viruses were not evaluated. Heavy metals (Pb, Cr, Cd, Cu, Zn, As, Ni, Mn) concentrations in BBRDM were within internationally permissible limits. BBRDM was applied for field cultivation of tomato during 2012-2013 and 2013-2014. Lycopene and nitrate contents of BBRDM-grown tomatoes were higher than Diammonium OPEN ACCESSAgriculture 2015, 5 827 phosphate (DAP) + potash-grown tomatoes because BBRDM supplied 2.5 times more the amount of nitrogen than DAP (NPK 18:46:0) + potash (NPK 0:0:44). Heavy metals and nitrate/nitrite concentrations in tomatoes were within internationally acceptable limits. BBRDM-grown tomatoes showed no mutagenic activity in the Ames test. Sub-acute toxicity tests on Wistar rats fed with BBRDM-grown tomatoes did not show adverse clinical picture. Thus, no immediate environmental or health risks associated with BBRDM and the tomatoes produced were identified.
