Abstract

In this study, the effects of five different concentrations of silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg l-1) application on two different tomato cultivars grown at three different irrigation levels (25%, 50% and 100%) were investigated. Yield and quality characteristics of tomato fruits were investigated. The level of Ag-NPs that reduces the effects of arid stress on the plant genotypes physiologically and morphologically and their effects on the yield and fruit quality characteristics were also evaluated. Ag-NPs of 50 mg l-1 application was found to be more effective than the other applications in protecting tomato plants against the negativities caused by drought stress. In general, the total yield showed a decrease in AgNPs+stress applications according to Chlorophyll (SPAD) and Water use efficiency. In total yield Ag-NPs, Ag-NPs+50% stress and Ag-NPs+25% stress applications, the highest doses were found for Ag-NPs 25 mgl-1 (5489.66 g m2) and Ag-NPs 25 mg l-1 (4896.00 g m2), respectively. This study provides results that may be used by producers in places where tomato plants grown in arid regions. Silver nanoparticles can be used at ppm levels to produce quality tomato fruits by providing drought resistance of the plant.

Gümüş nanopartiküllerin (Ag-NPs) kuraklık stresi altındaki domates bitkilerinin fizyolojik ve biyokimyasal özelliklerine etkisi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 3 farklı sulama seviyesinde (%25, %50, %100) yetiştirilen 2 farklı domates çeşidine 5 farklı konsantrasyonda gümüş nanopartiküllerin (Ag-NPs) (0, 25, 50, 75, 100 mg l-1) uygulamasının etkileri incelenmiştir. (Ag-NPs) uygulaması ppm bazında kullanılarak domates meyvesinin verim ve kalite özelliklerini incelenmiştir. Ag-nanopartiküllerin domates genotiplerinde bitki üzerindeki kurak stresin etkilerini fizyolojik ve morfolojik olarak hangi düzeyde azalttığı belirlenirken, uygulamaların verim ve meyve kalite özellikleri üzerindeki etkileri de incelenmiştir. Denemede uygulanan Ag-NPs 50 mg l-1 uygulamasının domates bitkisini; kuraklık stresinden kaynaklanan olumsuzluklara karşı korumada diğer uygulamalara göre daha etkili olduğu görülmüştür. Genel olarak toplam verim, meyve uzunluğu ve meyve çapına göre Ag-NPs+stres uygulamaları bir düşüşe neden olmuştur. Toplam verimde Ag-NPs, Ag-NPs+%50 stress ve Ag-NPs+%25 stress uygulamalarında en yüksek dozlar sırasıyla Ag-NPs 25 mg l-1 (5489,66 g m2) ve Ag-NPs 25 mg l-1 (4896,00 g m2) olarak bulunmuştur. Bu çalışma, üreticilerin hemen kullanabilecekleri pratik kısa vadeli sonuçlar sunmaktadır. Bu çalışma, özellikle kurak bölgelerde domates yetiştiriciliğin yapıldığı alanlarda üreticilerin kısa vadede pratik olarak kullanabilecekleri sonuçlar sunmaktadır. Gümüş nanopartiküller, bitkinin kuraklığa dayanıklılığını sağlayarak kaliteli domates meyveleri üretmek için ppm düzeylerde kullanılabilir.
