Title Of Article :
EFFECT OF CONDITIONER APPLICATIONS ON MICRO NUTRIENT CONTENT OF CORN PLANT IN ACIDIC SOILS
Abstract :
This study was conducted to determine effect of soil conditioners with different origin such as bio-solid (BKT), zeolite (ZEO) and polyacrylamide (PAM) on the micro nutrient contents (Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn) of corn plant after a pH improvement by lime application. Some properties of the soil were determined as follows; clay in texture, low in pH and moderate in organic matter content. Split plot design was selected as experimental design in the present study. After incubation period for eight weeks, corn was grown in all pots. Conditioner applications increased the micro nutrient contents of corn plant depend on conditioner type, application dose and soil pH value. Effects of all treatments on the micro nutrient contents of maize and interaction among soil pH, conditioner type and application doses were found to be significant at P 0.001 level. Effectiveness of applications for Zn and Mn was determines as BKT PAM ZEO order, it changed as BKT ZEO PAM and ZEO BKT PAM for Fe and Cu, respectively.
