Özet

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) application on leaf nutrient content in 25-year-old '0900 Ziraat' cherry trees grown in Sultandağı, Afyonkarahisar. The experiment included four treatments: control, 5 ppm, 10 ppm, and 15 ppm applied to the soil within the tree crown projection. Leaf analysis revealed that Nitrogen (N), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), and Iron (Fe) levels generally increased with higher yeast doses compared to the control. Potassium (K) reached its peak at 10 ppm. Conversely, Phosphorus (P) and Copper (Cu) levels decreased at the highest dose (15 ppm). Zinc (Zn) showed a decline at low doses but recovered at higher concentrations. Results indicate that S. cerevisiae can serve as a biofertilizer alternative to enhance leaf nutrient status in sweet cherry. However, repeated trials in different locations are recommended for consistency in elements like phosphorus. This study is a part of the master thesis of Hamide AK which was supervised by Volkan Okatan. The study was supported by Scientific Research Projects Coordination Unit of Eskisehir Osmangazi University, Project code: FYL-2025-3451.
