Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of iron (Fe) and zinc (Zn) on the growth and development of soybeans (Glycine max (L.) Merr.). Healthy and germination-suitable soybean seeds were germinated in magentas with distilled water 25±2 °C. The germinated seeds were then transplanted into perlite pots and grown in a climate chamber. During the experimental phase, iron and zinc were applied separately in five groups: 0% (control), 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%. Seedlings grown for 28 days were harvested and leaf samples from each pot were stored in a freezer for analysis. Proline, chlorophyll, malondialdehyde (MDA), and ion (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Cl⁻) analyses were performed on the leaf samples. Significant increases were observed in proline, chlorophyll, and MDA compared to the control group. The study concluded that a 40% dose of iron and zinc increased resistance in soybean plants and positively affected their growth and development depending on the applied ratios.

Demir ve Çinko Uygulamalarının Soya [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] Bitkisinin Büyüme ve Gelişimine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırmayla, demir (Fe) ile çinkonun (Zn), soya (Glycine max (L.) Merr.) bitkisinin büyüme ve gelişimine etkisi amaçlanmıştır. Sağlam ve çimlenmeye uygun soya tohumları mağentalarda 25±2 °C sıcaklıkta saf su ile çimlendirilmiş, ardından perlit ortamında saksılara alınarak iklim odasında büyütülmüştür. Deneme aşamasında bitkilere demir ve çinko uygulamaları ayrı ayrı %0 (kontrol), %20, %30, %40 ve %50 oranlarında beş grupta yapılmıştır. 28 gün büyütülen fideler hasat edilerek her saksıdan alınan yaprak örnekleri dondurucuda saklanmış ve yapraklarda prolin, klorofil, malondialdehid (MDA) ve iyon (Na⁺, K⁺, Ca²⁺, Cl⁻) analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Özellikle prolin, klorofil ve MDA analizlerinde kontrol grubuna göre anlamlı artışlar saptanmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda %40 oranında demir ve çinkonun, soya bitkisinin direnç mekanizmalarını güçlendirdiği ve büyüme gelişimini olumlu yönde etkilediği anlaşılmıştır.
