dc.description.abstractThis two-year field study was conducted to investigate the effects of municipal sol id waste compost on physical properties in Xerofluvent soils. The waste compost used in the study was obtained from Uzundere Compost Factory belong to Municipal of Izmir City. The study was carried according to split block experimental design with three replications and seven compost doses (0, 2, 4, 8, 10, 12 and 16 t/da). The amount of compost applications to the plots was calculated based on dry compost weight. Winter barley was sown in the plots and grown without any fertilization until the harvest. After harvesting, the soil samples were taken and analyzed. In the second year, the winter barley was sown in the same plot without any waste compost and mineral fertilizer. At the end of harvest, again soil samples were taken and analyzed. In the soil samples taken, in both years, some physical properties such as aggregate stability, hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, saturation percentage, field capacity, wilting point, were determined. According to the results of analyzes, waste compost obtained from solid residuals had a positive effect on physical properties of soils. This effect was significant on hydraulic conductivity, bulk density, saturation percentage and field capacity whereas it was not significant on aggregate stability, and wilting point. In generally, at the higher compost doses, the effect of compost on the physical properties of the soils was found to be more significant.
