Abstract

In this study, the effects of different organic materials on the growth, some nutrient contents and stress tolerance parameters of Iceberg and Curly lettuce plants under salinity stress conditions were investigated. Vermicompost, hazelnut husk compost, low and high quality leonardite-based organic soil conditioners were applied to the soil at rate of 2%. Salinity stress was performed at three levels (0, 20 and 40 mM NaCl). The experiment was carried out according to the randomized plot design with 3 replications in the greenhouse. Under saline conditions, while the dry weights, membrane permeability, nitrate content, K/Na and Ca/Na ratios of the plants decreased regularly, proline, Na, Cl and Ca contents increased. When evaluated according to the stress tolerance parameters, it was found that the membrane permeability, proline, nitrate, K, Na, Ca contents and Ca/Na ratio of the plants were the best in hazelnut husk compost application, and the best in fresh-dry weights and Cl content in vermicompost application. Our results show that hazelnut husk compost and vermicompost mitigates the effects of salinity stress compared to leonardite.
