To make aquaponics systems ever more widespread, raising crop yields is
an indispensable task. In the present study it is examined, how much the
intrinsic integration of the quail dung into the aquaponics system modifies the
development of plants, thereby increasing the efficiency of the flower and yield
formation. In the study jalapeno chili, arugula and artichokes were coated. The
plants in buckets were grown in three different ways. In the first parcel plants
were grown in potting soil and irrigated with groundwater. In the second parcel
plants were grown in potting soil and irrigated with fish tank effluent. In the
third parcel to the potting soil quail dung was mixed in 2:1 ratio, the plants were
irrigated with groundwater. Potting soil, groundwater and fish tank effluent
were analyzed. Macro (Na, Al, Ca, Fe, K, Mg) and micro elements (Ba, Cd, Cr,
Cu, Li, Mn, Ni, Pb, Sr, Zn), as well as the elements of the plant nutrient (NO3-,
NO2-, NH4 +, (PO4)3- ) were measured. The results of the soil measurements
in the vegetation period show that the mixture of quail dung resulted higher
concentration of Ba, Zn, Cr and Al, Fe, K, Mg, Mn than the other two cultivation
forms. The samples with a mixture of quail dung contained nearly 50% less Na
than the fish tank effluent irrigated samples. P, Sr Cu concentrations did not
show significant differences in the three cultivation forms. Samples without
fish tank effluent irrigation or quail dung mixing contained significantly less
amounts of trace elements except NO3- and P. The Ni, Cd and Pb did not
exceed the toxic level in any of the cultivation forms. Based on the results, it
can be stated that the quail dung contributes greatly to the trace supply, so it
can be successfully integrated into the aquaponics systems.
