Growth Response of Some Vegetables Seedlings According to Blood Fertilizer

These experiments were performed to investigate the effects of the fertilization of vegetable seedlings with blood fertilizer on the seedlings’ growth and quality. Tomatoes, hot peppers, and leaf mustard seeds were sown in artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer, without fertilizer, and with blood fertilizer to analyze the changes in the growth of vegetable seedlings. When tomato was sowed in the artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer, the following highest values in the plant height, fresh weight, and leaf width were obtained: 20.56 cm, 51.16 g, and 6.12 cm, respectively. However, the total numbers of the leaves were 14.98, 9.24, and 18.15 in the artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer, the artificial soil without fertilizer, and the artificial soil with the blood fertilizer, respectively. The hot pepper seedlings sown in the artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer grew best in terms of their height (9.13 cm), fresh weight (30.26 g), and leaf width (2.21 cm). The greatest number of hot pepper leaves was obtained from the soil with the blood fertilizer (8.21), compared with the hot pepper seedlings sown in the artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer (7.92) and those sown in the artificial soil without fertilizer (5.12). The leaf mustard showed the highest overall results from the artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer, and showed insignificant results from the soil with the blood fertilizer. Overall, the best seedlings were obtained from the artificial soil with the conventional fertilizer, but the effect of the blood fertilizer treatment was the best in terms of the number of leaves of the hot pepper and tomato. This study suggested that environmental pollution caused by slaughterhouse waste can be reduced by using the blood of livestock as a fertilizer, instead of the conventional fertilizer, to produce environment-friendly organic seedlings.
