Abstract

In this study, the effectiveness of the hazelnut shell, which is used as a filling material for heating and furniture, on the microbial activity in the rhizosphere region of the wheat plant grown in different soils was investigated by converting it to biochar, an organic material. The effects on the biological properties (microbial biomass, CO2-production, urease, acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase activities) of the wheat plant in the rhizosphere region were investigated by adding 0, 10 and 20 tons/ha of biochar to two different soils with sandy clay loam and sandy-loam texture under greenhouse conditions.According to the results of the research, while the urease enzyme activity was effective at a dose of 10 tons/ha in both textures, the acid and alkaline phosphatase enzyme activity was found to be more effective at a dose of 10 tons/ha in sandy loam texture and 20 tons/ha in sandy loam texture. In terms of CO2 production and microbial biomass-C values, 10 tons/ha and 20 tons/ha doses stood out, respectively.
