    Effect of biochars produced at different pyrolysis temperatures on Ammonium (NH4+) and Nitrate (NO3-) Leaching: Column experiment
    (Hasan ÖNDER, 2024) Gence, Cabir Çağrı; Erdem, Halil
    Nitrogen (N) leaching from agricultural soils is a global problem with negative effects on both human health and the environment. Efforts should be made to increase the efficiency of use of plant nutrients and minimize N losses from terrestrial ecosystems to aquatic ecosystems. In this study, the effects of different doses (%0, %1 and %2) of biochar obtained from corn cob and rice husk biomass, which are agricultural production residues, at three different temperatures, on ammonium (NH4+) and nitrate (NO3-) leaching in a coarse-textured soil were investigated. Polyethylene (PE) columns with a diameter of 70 mm and a height of 20 cm were used in the study, which was carried out in three replications according to the randomized plots experimental design. Total nitrogen (27 kg N da-1) and water amounts (969 mm) used for 6 tons da-1 yield of sugar beet were applied. Total water was given to each column in equal volume using drip adjustment sets at one-week intervals, simulating 6 irrigation periods, and the leaked water was collected in each irrigation period and NO3- and NH4+ concentrations were determined. Applications of 1 and 2 doses of corn and rice biochars obtained at three different pyrolysis temperatures caused a significant decrease in NH4+ concentrations leaching from the column. Similarly, biochar applications (especially 2% dose) caused a significant decrease in NO3- concentrations leaching from the column. While the total NO3- concentration leaching from the control columns was 149.23 mg kg-1, 2% dose of rice husk biochars at 300, 400 and 500 ? temperature applications caused a decrease in the total NO3- concentrations washed from the column by 51%, 55% and 51%, respectively. The results revealed that biochar applications significantly reduced nitrogen leaching from the soil.

    Effects of Nitrogen and Zinc Fertilization on Alleviating Cadmium Accumulation in Durum Wheat Grains
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2023) Tosun, Yener Kortan; Erdem, Halil; Gence, Cabir Çağrı
    Cadmium (Cd) accumulation in durum wheat (Triticum durum L.) is of particular concern compared to the other commonly cultivated cereals. This study was conducted to determine the effects of zinc (Zn) and nitrogen (N) applications on grain Cd concentration of durum wheat grown in a Cd contaminated soil. The experimental design consisted of randomized plots with four replications. The treatments included low and adequate (0.05 and 5 mg kg?1) Zn doses, and inadequate, optimal and high (200, 400 and 600 mg kg?1) N doses. Cadmium application rates were 0 and 5 mg kg?1. The findings demonstrated that Cd application caused a significant increase in grain Cd concentrations, and a decrease in straw and grain yields under low and adequate doses of Zn and all N doses. However, increasing N applications with adequate soil Zn caused an increase in the straw and grain yields and a significant decrease in grain Cd concentration. The grain Cd concentration in low Zn and optimum N treatment under Cd application was 6206 µg kg?1, while the grain Cd concentration decreased by 26.3% (4574 µg kg?1) in the Zn and optimum N treatment. In addition, the grain Zn concentration of durum wheat under low soil Zn conditions was decreased in Cd application, whereas the grain Zn concentration increased in Cd application under adequate soil Zn concentration. The results revealed that combined application of N and Zn in Zn deficient soils is highly effective at decreasing Cd accumulation in wheat grains compared to individual applications.
