Zeytin katı atığı ve alt külünün toprak özelliklerinin ve buğday verimliliğinin iyileştirilmesi amacıyla kullanılabilirliği

This study aims to evaluate the potential utilization of olive solid waste and its bottom ash as soil amendments to enhance soil physical and chemical characteristics and assess their effects on wheat yield under water stress and normal conditions. 48 pots were filled with 2 kg of sandy loam and clay soils, divided into two irrigation treatments 100% of the soil field capacity and 30% of the plant available water capacity, representing water stress conditions. Three types of soil applications, including olive pomace (OP), olive pomace bottom ash (OPBA), and a mixture of both (OP+OPBA), were applied to the soils. Each treatment combination was replicated three times. The study focuses on investigating the impact of these treatments on soil physical and chemical properties, as well as their influence on wheat growth and yield. The findings will contribute to understanding the potential use of olive waste products as sustainable soil amendments, particularly in mitigating the adverse effects of water stress on crop production while improving soil quality.
