Root Yield and Quality of Sugar Beet Under Drip and Sprinkler Irrigation with Foliar Application of Micronutrients

Abstract

This field study was conducted to determine the effects of different irrigation methods on the yield and quality of sugar beet (Beta vulgaris L. cv.esperanza) in Altıntas-Kutahya, Turkey during 2016 growing season. The experimental design was randomized complete block design with three replications. In two irrigation methods; sprinkler and drip irrigation, full water requirement of sugar beet was meet throughout the whole growing season. In sub-plots, irrigation programs were applied together with foliar application with a mixture of humic acid (humic and fulvic acid 15%, water soluble K2O(0.03%) 2 L ha-1, 20-20-20+TE 2.5 L ha-1 and micronutrients (0.8%B, 1.5%Cu, %5 Fe, %3 Mn, 0.2% Mo, 4% Zn) 0.5 kg ha-1. The irrigation methods has significant effects on root and sugar yield. In drip irrigation system, the amount of irrigation water and evapotranspiration were almost 11% lower than the sprinkler irrigation. Water use efficiency in drip irrigation method increased up to 15.2 kg m-3 by saving water in the root zone of sugar beet. Results also indicated that drip irrigation with foliar application of micronutrients had a significant effect on the root and sugar yield. Generally, it could be recommended that drip irrigation was an effective method in sugar beet production for more root and sugar yield and also saving water. The results presented have important implications for maintaining plant quality and yield, and show the need to adjust the irrigation schedule to avoid yield loss.

Damla ve Yağmurlama Sulama Sitemlerinde Mikrobesin Maddelerinin Yaprağa Uygulanması ile Şekerpancarında Kök Verimi ve Kalitesi Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışma, farklı sulama yöntemlerinin şekerpancarı (Beta vulgaris L. cv.esperanza) bitkisinin verim ve kalitesi üzerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla Kütahya ilinin Altıntaş ilçesinde arazi koşullarında 2016 yılında yürütülmüştür. Araştırma tesadüf blokları deneme deseninde üç tekrarlı olarak yürütülmüştür. Yağmurlama ve damla sulama sistemlerinde bitkinin su ihtiyacı tüm gelişim döneminde tam karşılanmıştır ve alt konularda aynı sulama programlarına devam edilmiş fakat yaprak gübreleme uygulaması gerçekleştirilmiştir. Yaprak gübresinde; hümik ve fülvik acit %15, suda çözünebilir K2O(0.03%) 2 L ha-1, 20-20-20+TE 2.5 L ha-1 ave mikrobesin elementleri (0.8%B, 1.5%Cu, %5 Fe, %3 Mn, 0.2% Mo, 4% Zn) 0.5 kg ha-1 uygulanmıştır. Farklı sulama yöntemleri şekerpancarı kök ve şeker verimini önemli derecede etkilemiştir. Damla sulama sisteminde, uygulanan sulama suyu miktarı ve buna bağlı olarak bitki su tüketim değeri yaklaşık %11 oranında daha az olmuştur ve bitki su kullanım randımanı 15.2 kg m-3 olarak, yağmurlama sulama sistemine göre daha yüksek olmuştur. Damla sulama sistemi ile yaprak gübrelemesinin yapılması kök ve şeker veriminde önemli bir etkiye sahip olmuştur. Genel olarak, damla sulama sistemi şeker pancarı kök ve şeker veriminde önemli bir artış
sağlarken, aynı zamanda suyu tasarruflu kullanan bir sistemolmuştur. Bu, bitki verim ve kalitesinin üst düzeyde sağlanması için düzenli sulaman önemini göstermektedir.
