Changes of the Root Parameters of Pepper Plant Capsicum annuum L. Grown at Different Media

Abstract

In this research, the root parameters of pepper plant Capsicum annuum L grown at four different crowth media prepared with different rates of soil and peat were investigated. According to experimental results, with increasing the peat content, root lenght, root area, root volume, root and shoot weight were decreased whereas shoot/root ratio was increased. It was found that changes in all root parameters, except root diameter were significant statistically, P

Farkl ı Ortamlarda Yeti ştirilen Biber Bitkisi Capsicum annuum L. nin Kök Parametrelerindeki Değişimler

Abstract

Bu araşt ı rmada toprağa deği şik oranlarda peat ilave edilerek haz ı rlanmış 4 farkl ı yetiştirme ortam ı nda yetiştirilen biber bitkisi Capsicum annuum L. ' nin kök parametreleri belirlenmi ştir. Araşt ı rmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre ortamda peat miktar ı artt ı kça kök uzunluğu, kök alan ı , kök hacmi, kök ve tepe ağı rl ı klar ı azalma gösterirken, tepe/kök oran ı nda bir art ış meydana gelmiştir. Istatistiksel olarak, kök çap ı hariç bütün kök parametrelerindeki değişimler önemli bulunmuştur P
