Determination Effects of Active Dry Yeast on Morphological and Chemical Components of Maize Plants Grown in Alkaline Soils for Silage Purposes

In agriculture, the use of environmentally friendly materials both in place and alongside chemical ones is continuously increasing. Two field experiments were conducted during 2019 2020 seasons to investigate effects foliar application three doses (5.0, 7.5, 10 g L-1) active dry yeast sprayed on maize (Zea mays L. Cv. Tuano) at two intervals, first 54 days after planting (DAP), second 15 later. Plants grown for silage purposes under alkaline soil conditions Experimental Research Station Field Crops Dep., Van Yuzuncu Yıl University-(VYYU), Turkey. Measurements taken times vegetative stage 64, 74, 84-DAP, one dough 117-123 DAP. Morphologically, results showed that different increased plant height (cm), stem, leaves, cobs weight per total (g), number plant-1 (piece), green herbage yield (ton da-1) DAP seasons. contrast, there was no significant increase chlorophyll as SPAD (The Soil Plant Analysis Development) value, leaves 64 Chemically, spraying improved P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Cu, Se, Zn concentrations well content 74 84 compared control. From this study, it could be concluded highest values studied parameters recorded when used a dose L-1 high pH soil.
