This study was conducted over the
experimental fields of Erciyes University in 2017 and 2018 to investigate the
effects of various fertilizers and different nitrogen
doses on pumpkin seed. In
the study, 3 different fertilizer types, including compost fertilizer + mineral
fertilizer (K + M), organo-mineral fertilizer (OM) and mineral fertilizer (M),
and under these fertilizer applications 90, 120 and 140 kg.ha-1 nitrogen doses
( N90, N120 and N140 kg.ha-1) were tested. Experiments were conducted in randomized blocks design with 3
replications and Develi population was used as material. The average fruit
weight and fruit yield were significantly influenced by the fertilizer type. The
effects of different fertilizer types on average fruit weight and fruit yield
were found to be significant. Fruit yield of 37.31, 36.44 and 32.68 t / ha were
obtained from K + M, OM and M, respectively. Number of fruits per plant, seed
yield and 1000 grain weight were significantly affected by neither fertilizer
type nor nitrogen doses. A two-year average, K + M, OM and M issues
respectively 724, 796 and 699 kg.ha-1 and N90, N120 and N140 issues
respectively 764, 707 and 748 kg.ha-1 seed yield was obtained. The mean weight
of 1000 grains was 223 g. Although organic fertilization has positive effects
on pumpkin fruit, this effect has not been observed on pumpkin seeds. 90-100
kg.ha-1 nitrogen dose is sufficient for the pumpkin seed.
