Abstract:

 This study was conducted in the research field of the Department of Field Crops at Van Yüzüncü Yıl University, Faculty of Agriculture, during the years 2022 and 2023. The study aimed to perform an economic analysis of silage corn by evaluating different organomineral and foliar fertilizer applications, considering forage yield, production value PV, variable costs, gross profit, and net profit. The Simpatico corn variety was used, with different combinations of fertilizers, including DAP Diammonium phosphate, Urea, Organomineral base OMT, Organomineral top OMU, Seaweed SW, Vermicompost VC, and Humic acid HA. The experiment was designed using the Randomized Block Design with three replications. According to the combined annual average, the highest forage yield was obtained from the OMT-OMU-VC application at 6823.00 kg da-1, while the lowest yield was recorded from the DAP-Urea application at 6610.83 kg da-1, showing a 3.1 yield difference. In terms of production value, the highest was recorded from the OMT-OMU-VC application at 11599.10  da-1. However, the DAP and Urea applications, being lower in cost, resulted in higher net profit ratios. Accordingly, the DAP-Urea application recorded a net profit of 7828.85  da-1, a gross profit of 8267.96  da-1, and a relative profit of 3.29  da-1. For production, the addition of organomineral and foliar fertilizers to plant nutrition systems can be considered an important step in terms of agricultural productivity and soil conservation.

 Bu çalışma, Van Yüzüncü Yıl Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü araştırma arazisinde 2022 ve 2023 yıllarında yürütülmüştür. Bu çalışmada, silajlık mısır bitkisinde farklı organomineral ve yaprak gübresi uygulamalarının hasıl verim, Üretim değeri ÜD, değişen masraflar ve brüt kar, net kar değerleri dikkate alınarak ekonomik analizinin yapılmasını amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, Simpatico mısır çeşidi kullanılmış olup, gübre kaynağı olarak DAP Diamonyum fosfat, Üre, Organomineral taban OMT, Organomineral üst OMÜ, Deniz yosunu DY, Vermikompost VK ve Humik asit HA gübrelerinin farklı kombinasyonları kullanılmıştır. Deneme Tesadüf Blokları Deneme Desenine göre üç tekrarlamalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Birleştirilmiş yıl ortalamasına göre en yüksek hasıl verim OMT-OMÜ-VK uygulamasından 6823.00 kg da-1, en düşük değer ise DAP-ÜRE uygulamasından 6610.83 kg da-1olarak kaydedilmiş ve aralarında 3.1 oranında verim farkı oluşmuştur. Çalışmada, üretim değeri açısından en yüksek değer OMT-OMÜ-VK uygulamasından 11599.10  da-1 olarak kaydedilmiştir. Buna karşın, DAP ve ÜRE gübrelerinin bulunduğu uygulamalar maliyet açısından daha düşük oldukları için net kar oranları daha yüksek olarak belirlenmiştir. Buna göre DAP-ÜRE uygulaması net kar 7828.85  da-1,bürüt kar 8267.96  da-1 ve nispi kar 3.296  da-1 olarak kaydedilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar ışığında, bitki yetiştiriciliğinde sürdürülebilir üretim için, organomineral ve yaprak gübrelerinin bitki besleme sistemlerine eklenmesi, tarımsal verimlilik ve toprak koruma açısından önemli bir adım olarak değerlendirilebilir.
