Agricultural wastes are valuable
organic materials in terms of their nutrient content. These materials are often
used in non-agricultural areas. Composting in the conversion of agricultural
wastes to soil is the most optimum evaluation method. In this study, composts obtained from agricultural wastes are used and
these composts were consisted of different agricultural wastes such as pruning
wastes-PW, spent mushroom composts-SMC and at different ratios. Five different
compost mixtures were added to the pot soil (1 ton ha-1) and
composts effects on growth and nutrient contents of lettuce were determined.
The study was carried out during two successive seasons (autumn and spring).
The results showed that plant growth
and yield were found higher in the compost applications than in control.
Generally the highest values were obtained from M1 (80%SMC+20%PW) and
M2(70%SMC+30PW)treatments for many parameters.
