Abstract

This study was carried out in Kahramanmaraş Sütçü İmam University, Field Crops Department in 2018. In the experiment, organic regulators leonardite, earthworm and cattle manure were used. Organic regulators were applied to the soil in amounts of 250 kg da-1, 500 kg da-1 , 750 kg da-1  and 1000 kg da-1 . It was aimed to determine the moisture constants and hydraulic conductivity properties of soils by applying different organic regulators to sandy clay loam textured soil. Soil samples taken from the treatment plots before the application of leonardite, vermicompost and cattle manure were incubated for 6 months and then examined. According to the results, the organic matter (%), field capacity (%), hydraulic conductivity (cm h-1) and useful water (%) content of the soils increased with the increased leonardite, vermicompost and animal fertilizer applications. On the other hand, significant differences were found between soil variables (field capacity, useful water, hydraulic conductivity and organic matter) and fertilizer applications (p<0.01). When the data obtained before and after the application in soils were compared, a positive effect of leonardite, vermicompost and cattle manure applications was determined. These results were related to the amount of organic matter contained in organic regulators.
