Abstract
Farm manure applied in different doses; in order to determine the effect on some chemical and physical properties of the soil and to determine the relationship between the contribution of the healing soil health and quality to the vegetative growth and yield of pear trees. Applications made in two doses to the crown projection of trees from the enriched farm manure, 6-year-old planted Etryoshka variety grafted on OHF 333 rootstock was made in pear garden. While there was no statistical difference between applications in 2018 and 2019 measurements in tree height measurements, 5 kg tree-1 and 10 kg tree-1 farm manure applications were found to be significant compared to the control in 2020 measurements. When the number of shoots was examined, there was no statistical difference in the year of application (2018) and one year after (2019), while in 2020, 5 kg tree-1 and 10 kg tree-1 farm manure applications were higher than control. With the application of 10 kg farm manure per tree, the organic matter content of the soil was increased from "low" level (1.02%) to "medium" level (3.03%) at the end of the first year. A similar situation is valid for 5 kg tree-1 dose application, although the increase in the amount of organic matter is lower (2.45%). At the end of the second year, while the level of organic matter in soils where high dose application was applied was preserved as "medium" (2.14%), the low dose application lost its effectiveness and the level of organic matter fell back to the "low" class (1.45%).
