ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the effect of N:P:K fertilization and some bacterial species
on the flowering and development of Hyacinthus orientalis cv. ‘Delft Blue’ plant. In the study carried
out under laboratory conditions according to randomized plot experiment design, full and half (1/2) dose
of 20:20:20 N:P:K commercial fertilizer was applied to hyacinth bulbs as inorganic fertilizer. Nitrogenfixing
bacteria: Cellulomonas turbata (TV54A), phosphate solubilizing bacteria: Bacillus-GC Group
(TV119E) and nitrogen-fixing and phosphate solubilizing bacteria: Kluyvera cryocrescens (TV113C)
and TV54A and TV119E bacteria types were used as biological fertilizers. In the study in which some
phenological and morphological observations were made, the earliest time of first flowering, full
flowering and harvesting were determined as 52.07, 53.70 and 54.66 days in 1/2 N:P:K application and
the difference between the applications was found to be statistically significant (P<0.001). Bacterial
applications caused a ten-day delay. The highest leaf width average (24.43 mm) was obtained in TV119E
application (P<0.01). The maximum number of leaves was 7.13 (1/2 N:P:K), leaf length was 245.57 mm
(TV113C) and plant height was 364.24 mm (TV119E). It was found that bacteria prolong the flowering
start times, that is, N:P:K fertilization makes flowers bloom in a shorter time. In addition, leaf growth
and bacterial inoculation of the plant were determined to be effective.
