Determination of optimal food solution in tomato seedlings cultivation

In this thesis, the growth parameters and nutrient contents of tomato seedlings were examined by applying different nutrient solutions in tomato seedling cultivation. The study was carried out at Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Horticulture, Physiology Laboratory Climate Room. The study was carried out in order to determine the best, high quality and the best seedling seedlings of seedlings produced as a result of the application of different food solution prescriptions applied to Bandita F1 hybrid tomato cultivars grown in peat + perlite mixture. The study was conducted in three stages. In the first stage, tomato seeds were planted in viols with peat perlite mixture and watered with pure water until germination. In the second stage seven different nutrient solutions were irrigated. The control group commercial fertilizer was prepared from seven different food recipes, while N, B and Mg were kept constant and P, K, Ca, Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn were gradually increased according to the hoagland solution. In the third stage, plant weight, leaf weight, stem weight, number of leaves, stem diameter, stem length, distance between nodes, root weight, leaf color values, nutrient contents of root stem and leaves were determined. As a result of the analysis of the best quality, good and hardy seedlings; N (186 ppm), P (35 ppm), K (237.4 ppm), Mg (49.28 ppm), Ca (180 ppm), Fe (3 ppm), Mn (0.037 ppm), B (0.205 ppm), Cu ( 0.020 ppm) and Zn (0.030 ppm), it was concluded that it grows in the third application, which is a nutrition prescription.
