Abstract
More environmentalist methods are being tried in good agricultural practices. In this study, the effects of Chlorella vulgaris Beyerinck [Beijerinck] and Arthrospira platensis Gomont microalgae on yield and quality in maize (Zea mays L.) cultivation were investigated. The research was carried out in the field application area located in Körfez district, Kocaeli region. The study was carried out in 3 replications in 3 different experimental plots as control sample, Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis. In the agricultural application, Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis were used as a double dose. In the study, the height, weight, number of leaves, cobs and grains and similar physical properties of the maize were investigated. Compared to the control group, it was observed that the green parts of the maize treated with microalgae were more intense. More over, it was determined that the maize with microalgae contribution has a strong root and stem structure and is resistant to diseases and pests. It was determined that microalgae increased the more protein content of maize than control sample. It was determined that microalgae application and control sample had each other near values in macro plant nutrients (N, P, K, Ca, Mg). Micro plant nutrients (Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn) were found to be higher in the Arthrospira platensis than the others. As a result, it was determined that Chlorella vulgaris and Arthrospira platensis taxa can be used as an alternative to the chemical fertilizers used in agriculture, as biofertilizers that protect the environment and human health, due to their rich source of vitamins and minerals.
