Abstract :This study aimed to assess the impact of various organic and inorganic fertilizers on the yield and yield components of barley varieties. The research was conducted in the greenhouse of the Faculty of Agriculture of Dicle University in 2019-2020. Two barley varieties, Keçiburcu (six rows) and Önder (two rows), and 15 types of organic and inorganic fertilizers were used in this study. All organic fertilizers used in the study were applied at sowing, solid fertilizers were incorporated directly into the soil, and liquid fertilizers were diluted with water and then applied to the soil. Among the fertilizers used in this study, conventional fertilizer (1.48 g/plant) and sheep manure (1.05 g/plant) showed positive effects on grain yield and other traits. As a result, plants benefit from chemical fertilizers in a shorter period because they are absorbed and used more quickly than chemical fertilizers, which are part of traditional agriculture. In addition, organic fertilizers have a positive effect on plant development. For organic barley production, sheep manure is recommended, which yields results similar to those of conventional fertilizers.
