Abstract
Effect of Soil Solarization and Poultry Manure Combination with Solarization on some Weeds, Wheat Yield and Yield Components
This study was conducted to determine the effects of soil solarization and poultry manure combinations on some of the common weeds, wheat yield and yield component during 2003-2005 growing seasons. Field experiments were conducted in the research field of Gaziosmanpasa University, Agriculturel Faculty Tokat/Turkey. Solarization experiments were done by using 0,02 mm transparent polyethylene sheets. Solarization increased soil temperatures by 9-15 ºC in soil depths as compared to control. Solarization was reduced some weeds densities. Solarization and poultry manure+solarization applications were good effect on wheat growth and yield. Wheat yield was increased 12,02%, 9,05% and first season 16,49%, second season 19,11% by solarization application and poultry manure+solarization application respectively.
