Usage of Hazelnut Husk Compost as Cover Material in Grass Field Facility

In this study, usability of hazelnut husk compost as covering material for formation lawn areas was investigated. Trial was carried out on twenty plots according to randomized block experimental design and as five different covering materials, four replicates. Hazelnut husk compost (HHC) and animal manure (M) were mixed in various proportions (100 % HHC, 75 % HHC + 25 % M, 50 % HHC + 50 % M, 25 % HHC + 75 % M, 100 % M) and was applied as a cover material after seeding. 50 % HHC + 50 % M from prepared cover materials was found to be more effective in terms of fresh grass yield, dry grass yield, basal covering and resistance to winter. These did not cause a statistically significant effect on the nitrogen and phosphorus content of the lawn plants; potassium content were found in the highest value in 75 % HHC + 25 % M compost and 100 % HHC medias. According to all findings, hazelnut husk compost were found to be insufficient by itself for use as cover material in the creation of lawn. 50 % HHC + 50 % M and 75 % HHC + 25 % M provides favorable conditions, hazelnut husk compost is believed that as the cover material should be evaluated together with the manure
