The effects of fresh and stored mushroom wastes on two different textured soils parameters

This research aims to investigate, the effects of fresh and stored waste mushroom composts on two different texture soil. The fresh and stored mushroom wastes used in the research were taken from Korkuteli district of Antalya province. The soils used in the research were taken from the field of Akdeniz University in Aksu Province. Fresh and stored mushroom wastes applied in two different soil in the pots in the greenhouse in the amount of 0, 2, 4, 6 t /da (0, 40, 80,120 g 5L).This study was carried out in 4 replications according to randomized plot trial design in greenhouse conditions. This study left to the incubation for 4 month. The experiments were established according to randomized parcel plot design and 4 replications were carried out. Trial 4-month incubation study was conducted. Study showed that, waste mushroom compost application had significant affect on the pH, EC, organic matter, field capacity, permanent wilting point, organic matter, cation exchange capacity of the soil. Nevertheless, the bulk density, aggregate size distribution, aggregate stability percentage were found to be statistically not important. While the fresh and stored waste mushroom composts were fond to be effective for the chemical properties of the soil but they were not affective fort the physical properties of soils.
