ABSTRACT MSc. Thesis AN INVESTIGATION OF SOME NUTRIENT ELEMENT CONTENTS OF WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) PLANT WHICH IS GROWN IN CENTRAL DISTRICT OF EDIRNE PROVINCE Ecem SEYHAN Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences Department of Soil Science and Plant Nutrition This study was carried out to determine the nutritional status of wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) grown in Edirne province by leaf analysis. Some macro and micro nutrient analyzes were performed in 25 different leaf samples taken from wheat field. According to the results of the analysis, the values of nutritional elements and nutritional problems of the samples were evaluated by comparing the values with the limit values. According to the results, the contents of the leaf samples N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Zn and Mn content of 1,15 % - 4,27 %, 0,11 % - 0,68 %; 0,74 % - 5,04 %; 0,05 % - 0,63 %; 0,06 % - 0,30 %; 0 - 18 mg/kg; 0 - 29 mg/kg; 1 - 190 mg/kg and 11 - 618 mg/kg, respectively. Leaf of 96 % of these values were Zn, 96 % of Fe, 68 % of Cu, 32 % Mg, 24 % P, 24 % Ca, 12 % K, 12 % Mn and 4 % of N deficiency. On the other hand, 48 % K, 36 N, 20 % P, 20 % Mn and 4 % high Zn level. Keywords: Edirne, macro nutrient elements, micro nutrient elements, wheat, leaf analysis. 2019, 29 pages
