Iğdır İli Elma Bahçelerinde Görülen Yabancı Ot Florasının Belirlenmesi ve Bölge Çiftçisinin Sorunları Çözmedeki Yaklaşımları

Abstract

Bu çalışma; Iğdır ili elma bahçelerinde bulunan yabancı ot türleri, rastlama sıklıkları, yoğunlukları, ayrıca bölge çiftçisinin yabancı ot sorunlarını çözmedeki yaklaşımlarını, mücadele yöntemlerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışma, 2020 yılında 50 elma bahçesinde sürveyler yapılmıştır. Ayrıca elma yetiştiriciliği yapan 100 çiftçi ile anket yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda; 1 parazit, 2 dar yapraklı ve 12 geniş yapraklı olmak üzere toplamda 15 familyaya ait 53 yabancı ot türü tespit edilmiştir. Tespit edilen bu familyalar içinde en fazla yabancı ot sayısına; Asteraceae (12 tür), Poaceae (12 tür) ve Brassicaceae (9 tür) familyalar sahip olmaktadırlar. Rastlama sıklıkları en yüksek yabancı otlar, Bromus tectorum (%84), Echinochloa crus-galli (%84) ve Trifolium pratense (%82) olmaktadır. Yoğunlukları en yüksek yabancı otlar ise T. pratense (76.44 bitki/m2), Seteria viridis (74.62 bitki/m2) ve Alopecurus myosuroides (70.96 bitki/m2) olarak tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan anketler sonucunda çiftçilerin %96’sı elma bahçelerinde yabancı otların çok yoğun olduğunu ve en fazla yoğunlukta bulunan yabancı ot türlerinin A. myosuroides (%80), Poa trivialis (%74) ve Hordeum murinum (%73) olduğunu ifade etmişlerdir. Iğdır ilinde elma yetiştiriciliği yapan çiftçiler, yabancı otlara karşı kimyasal mücadele yapmadıklarını belirtmişlerdir. Ayrıca çiftçilerin görüşleri alındığında elma bahçelerinde bulunan yabancı otları biçip hayvan yemi olarak kullandıklarını dile getirmişlerdir. Sonuç olarak Iğdır ili elma bahçelerinde çiftçilerin yabancı otlara karşı mücadele etmedikleri ve elma bahçelerinde yabancı ot yoğunluğunun çok yüksek olduğu görülmektedir.

Determination of Weeds Flora in Apple Orchards of Iğdır Province and Approaches of Farmers to Solve the Problems

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the weed species, their frequency, and density of weeds in the apple orchards of Iğdır province, as well as the approaches of the farmers in the region to solve the weed problems and their control methods. Surveys were conducted in 50 apple orchards in 2020. Besides, a questionnaire survey was conducted with 100 farmers engaged in apple growing. A total of 53 weed species belonging to 15 families, including 1 parasite, 2 narrow-leaved, and 12 broad-leaved weeds were identified. The highest number of weeds among these identified families were Asteraceae (12 species), Poaceae (12 species), and Brassicaceae (9 species), respectively. The weeds with the highest frequency were Bromus tectorum (84%), Echinochloa crus-galli (84%), and Trifolium pratense (82%). The weeds with the highest density were determined as T. pratense (76.44 plant/m2), Seteria viridis (74.62 plant/m2), and Alopecurus myosuroides (70.96 plant/m2). In the current study, 96% of the farmers stated that the weeds were very dense in the apple orchards and the weed species with the highest density were A. myosuroides (80%), Poa trivialis (74%), and Hordeum murinum (73%). They stated that none of the farmers engaged in apple cultivation in Iğdır province used chemicals for controlling weeds. In addition, when the opinions of the farmers were taken, they stated that they mow the weeds in the apple orchards and use them to feed their livestock. As a result, it is seen that the farmers do not manage weeds in the apple orchards of Iğdır province and the density of weeds in the apple orchards is very high.
