Özet

This research was conducted at Akdeniz University, Faculty ofAgriculture's research greenhouse in 39 plastic pots. Differentbacteria solutions (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45, 50, 55 mL bacteriasolution per 1 kg seed) were inoculated in the seeds of common vetchplant (Vicia sativa L.) with each replication. In addition, the mostconvenient bacteria dosage and differences between bacterial andartificial fertilizer applications were determined by applying (13applications in total) sole fertilizer so that 1 kg of nitrogen (N) fallsper decare in 1 pot and by applying control (non-inoculated seeds) for1 pot. Analyses revealed that bacteria solution applications of 45 mLon plant height; 5 mL on plant nitrogen content; 0, 5, 10, 15 and 25mL on plant phosphorus content; 25 mL on plant potassium content;0, 5, 35, 40 and 45 mL on fresh weight; 55 mL on root weight; 30 mLon number of bacteria in soil; 30 mL on dry matter percentage and 5mL on crude protein percentage have taken the first place. Fertilizerapplication did not sustain in any first place for any of the features,which indicate that bacteria applications can give better results.
