Effect of different ırrigation levels on yield, yield components and water use in fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill)

Abstract

Deficit irrigation is a general strategy applied for the saving of water in arid and semi-arid regions with limited water resources. This research was carried out in 2014 in Erzurum ecological conditions in order to determine the impacts of different irrigations quantities on the plant height, the number of branches, the number of umbrella, 1000-fruit weight and seed yield of fennel (Foeniculum vulgare Mill). The study included four different irrigation levels (100%, 80, 60 and 40). Different irrigation levels were adjusted considering the evaporation from a Class A pan located at experiment field. Treatments were arranged in a randomized complete block design with three replicates. Significant differences have been observed in the parameters investigated. In general, the increasing water shortage levels have reduced seed yield and the highest yield was obtained from the plots where the highest water level is applied. In terms of the efficient use of water resources, it was concluded that irrigation application would be more appropriate for 80% of the evaporation.

Farklı sulama seviyelerinin rezene (Foeniculum vulgare Mill) bitkisinde verim ve verim unsurları ile su kullanımına etkisi

Abstract

Kısıntılı sulama, sınırlı su kaynaklarına sahip kurak ve yarı kurak bölgelerde su tasarrufu sağlamak için uygulanan genel bir stratejidir. Bu araştırma 2014 yılında Erzurum ekolojik koşullarında farklı sulama miktarlarının bitki boyu, dal sayısı, şemsiye sayısı, 1000 meyve ağırlığı ve rezene tohum verimi üzerindeki etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada dört farklı sulama suyu seviyesi (%100, 80, 60 ve 40) uygulanmıştır. Sulama miktarları A sınıfı kap buharlaşması dikkate alınarak belirlenmiştir. Uygulamalar, üç tekerrürlü şansa bağlı deneme desenine göre düzenlenmiştir. İncelenen parametrelerde önemli farklılıklar gözlenmiştir. Genel olarak, artan su kısıtı seviyeleri, tohum verimini düşürmüştür ve en yüksek verim, en yüksek su seviyesinin uygulandığı parsellerden elde edilmiştir. Su kaynaklarının verimli kullanılması açısından buharlaşmanın %80 düzeyinde sulamanın daha uygun olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.
