Özet
Sustainable fertilization strategies have the potential to improve the nutritional quality of vegetables while reducing dependence on synthetic fertilizers. This study evaluated the effects of five fertilizer treatments (control, chemical fertilizer, organomineral fertilizer, cattle manure, and vermicompost) on the nutraceutical composition of fresh bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. cv. Sazova 1949) over two growing seasons using a randomized complete block design. The objective was to determine how different fertilizer sources influence leaf and seed mineral composition, total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic content, organic acid profiles, and phenolic compound composition. Fertilizer effects varied among traits and years. Vermicompost significantly increased leaf manganese and zinc concentrations, whereas organomineral fertilizer significantly increased seed protein content and total phenolic content in 2019. Organic acid and phenolic compound profiles showed compound-specific responses, with organomineral fertilizer generally producing higher concentrations of citric, malic, succinic, chlorogenic, and ellagic acids. In contrast, fertilizer effects on total antioxidant capacity and several mineral traits were not consistently significant across years, indicating a strong influence of environmental conditions. Overall, organomineral fertilizer and vermicompost generally produced more favorable nutraceutical profiles than the control and conventional chemical fertilizer. Because the experiment was conducted at a single location over two growing seasons, further multi-environment studies are needed to validate the consistency and wider applicability of these findings.
