The Effect of Different Irrigation Levels on Root Growth of Corn Irrigated by Drip Irrigation Method

Abstract

Abstract The objective of this study is to investigate the effect of different irrigation levels on the root growth of maize. The trial was carried out at ÇOMÜ ZF Dardanos Researc hand Application Center in 2019. The experiment was carried out according to the split-plot design with three replications. The treatment sincluded five irrigation levels which provided 100%(S1), 80%(S2), 60%(S3), 40%(S4), and 0%(S5) of the missing moisture as irrigation water as determined by the measurements in the 90-cm soil profile. The amounts of water given to the plotsbased on the treatments were 546 mm(S1), 455.6 mm(S2), 365.2 mm(S3), 274.8 mm(S4), and 94 mm(S5), respectively. The difference among irrigation levels for the total root length was statistically insignificant (P=0.0762). The highest total root length was found in S4 with 3177.12 cm/cm3 and the lowest in S2 with 2085.84 cm/cm3. The differences in the total root surface areas of the subjects according to the depth were found to be statistically significant (P=0.0079). Similarly, the distribution of root surface areas according to the depth was found to be statisticallydifferent (P<0.0001). The highest total root surface area was found in S3 with 171.17 cm/cm3 and the lowest in S1 with 91.42 cm/cm3.

Farklı Sulama Düzeylerinin Damla Sulama Yöntemi ile Sulanan Mısırın Kök Gelişimine Etkisi

Abstract

Özet* Bu çalışmanın amacı, farklı sulama düzeylerinin mısırın kök gelişimine olan etkisinin araştırılmasıdır. Deneme 2019 yılında ÇOMÜ ZF Dardanos Araştırma ve Uygulama Merkezinde yürütülmüştür. Deneme, bölünmüş parseller deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak yürütülmüştür. Denemede 90 cm’lik toprak profilinde ölçülen eksik nem miktarının %100 (S1); %80 (S2); %60 (S3); %40 (S4); %0’ının (S5) sulama suyu olarak uygulandığı 5 sulama düzeyi vardır. Denemede konulara sırası ile 546 mm(S1); 455,6 mm(S2); 365,2 mm(S3); 274,8 mm(S4) ve 94 mm(S5) sulama suyu uygulanmıştır. Konularda gerçekleşen mevsimlik bitki su tüketimi 754,9 mm (S1); 671,71 mm (S2); 585,39 mm (S3); 519,44 mm (S4) ve 341,66 mm (S5) olmuştur. Sulama düzeylerinin toplam kök uzunlukları arasındaki fark istatistiki olarak önemsiz bulunmuştur (P=0,0762). Konularda en yüksek toplam kök uzunluğu 3177,12 cm/cm3 ile S4 ve en düşük 2085,84 cm/cm3 ile S2 konularında tespit edilmiştir. Konularda toplam kök yüzey alanlarının derinliğe göre farkları istastiksel olarak önemli bulunmuştur (P=0,0079). Ayrıca konularda derinliğe göre kök yüzey alanlarının dağılımı istatiksel olarak farklı bulunmuştur (P<0,0001). Konularda en yüksek toplam kök yüzey alanı 171,17 cm/cm3 ile S3 ve en düşük 91,42 cm/cm3 ile S1 konularında tespit edilmiştir.
