By considering the storage problems and the environmental harms caused by agricultural by-products and
industrial wastes, researches on reusing these wastes are gaining great importance. In this study we investigated
the olive oil solid waste applications on beans and sunflower growth. Olive oil solid waste (OSW) mixed with
soil at the rates of 0, 3, 5 and 7 % by weight. Some physiological and morphological parameters such as
chlorophyll contents, plant height, plant thickness etc. have been examined. As a result, it is determined that
direct applications of olive solid waste negatively affect bean and sunflower growths.
