Abstract

Forage pea (Pisum sativum spp. arvense L.) is a forage crop with a high grass yield and a crude protein content of around 20%. Although everyone knows that forage peas require microelements throughout the growing season, the role of these elements during the most sensitive period of plant growth, germination and seedling development, has received little attention. The effects of boron and zinc microelements to forage pea seed on germination and seedling growth were investigated in this study. The experiment was set up with three replications in a completely randomized plot design. In the study, 6 different doses of boric acid (H₃BO₃) (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2 ppm) and 5 different doses of zinc (ZnSO₄ • 7H₂O) (control, 2mM, 4mM, 6mM, 8Mm) were applied to cv. Kiraz pea variety. Germination rate, seedling emergence rate, root length and seedling height were shown to be significantly affected by zinc application, according to the results of a statistical analysis. Boron application had a significant effect on germination rate and germination vigour. The doses following 0.8 ppm of boron treatment were found to have a reducing effect for germination vigour.

Yem Bezelyesinin Çimlenme Döneminde Çinko ve Bor Gübrelerine Tepkileri

Abstract

Yem bezelyesi (Pisum sativum spp. arvense L.), yüksek ot verimi ve içeriğinde %20 civarında ham proteine sahip bir yem bitkisidir. Yem bezelyesi tüm yetişme dönemlerinde mikro elementlere ihtiyaç duyduğu herkes tarafından bilinse de bu elementlerin bitki yetiştirmenin en hassas dönemi yani çimlenme ve fide gelişim dönemindeki rolü pek fazla araştırılmamıştır. Bu çalışmada, bor ve çinko mikro elementlerinin yem bezeleyesi tohumuna uygulanmasının çimlenme ve fide gelişimi üzerine etkileri araştırılmıştır. Deneme tesadüf parseller deneme desenine göre üç tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Çalışmada Kiraz yem bezelyesi çeşidine 6 farklı dozda (0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.8, 1.6, 3.2 ppm) borik asit (H₃BO₃) ve 5 farklı dozda (kontrol, 2mM, 4mM, 6mM, 8Mm) çinko (ZnSO₄ • 7H₂O) uygulanmıştır. Varyans analizi sonuçlarına göre, çinko uygulamasının kök uzunluğu, çimlenme hızı, sürme hızı ve fide uzunluğuna etkisinin önemli olduğu görülmüştür. Bor uygulamasının ise çimlenme hızı ve çimlenme gücü üzerindeki etkisi önemli bulunmuştur. Uygulanan çinko dozlarının incelenen özellikler üzerinde benzer etki gösterdiği görülmüştür. Bor uygulamasında ise 0.8 ppm uygulamasından sonraki dozların çimlenme hızında azaltıcı etkiye neden olduğu görülmüştür.
