Özet

The grape mare is becoming increasingly popular in vegetable crop production due to its organic nature and suitability in the growing. The effects of organic growth substrates of grape marc and straw bales in comparison to the inorganic substrate perlite on the development and yield of tomato were tested. In the seedling stage a total of three substrates, i.e. open composted grape marc (OCGM1); left in the open for a year; window system), fresh grape marc (FGM) and perlite were used. Subsequently, seedlings grown in the seedling media mentioned above were planted in the planting substrates which were OCGM1, FGM, composted straw bales (CSB), non-composted straw bales (NCSB) and perlitc. A total 16 combinations, three of which in the seedling stage, and five in the planting making a total number of I 5 combinations, together with the control treatment of classical soil growing, in early spring-summer production of tomatoes, were tested in an unheated glasshouse in Tekirdag, Turkey. The highest marketable yield (4014 g plant(-1)) was obtained from the plants grown in OCGM1 in both stages of the development. The lowest marketable yield on the other hand was obtained from the plants grown initially at the seedling stage in the FGM followed by the growing in the NCSB. Blossom end rot (BER) was observed in some of the fruits in the experiment where the highest BER was observed in the plants grown in OCGM1 x FGM and perlite x FGM combinations.
