%0 Journal Article %T The Potential Use of Macroalgae Ulva rigida (C. Agardh) as Organic Matter Source in Common Bean Production %A Yasemin £¿zlem ENG£¿N %J - %D 2019 %X In this study, the use of macro algae U. rigida (C. Agardh) as organic fertilizer in common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. var. nannus cv. Ba£¿p£¿nar) cultivation was studied. The experiment was conducted in the experimental area of Ege University, Faculty of Agriculture and Department of Horticulture. Bean cultivars were grown in pots. The experiment was consisted of 8 different applications. These were control, imported seaweed based fertilizer (Algreen), farmyard manure and 5 different doses of dried macro algae (U. rigida ). Algreen and farmyard manure were applied as single dose. The highest bean yield was determined in U. rigida trials. The most effective dose of U. rigida on bean yield was 150 g pot-1 dose. At the end of the research, it was determined that U. rigida was more effective on bean yields compared to Algreen and control group (p < 0.05) applications %K Makroalg %K Ulva rigida %K fasulye %K organik g¨¹bre %K verim %U http://dergipark.org.tr/actaquatr/issue/43483/577506
