Abstract

This trial was established in research and practice garden in Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences according to randomized complete block design with three replications in 2013. Bitter melon (Momordica charantia L.) seedlings grown in viols in the greenhouse were planted to land at different frequencies (70x50 cm, 70x100 cm, 70x150 cm) on 20 May, 2013. The harvest started on August 12 and ended on September 18. Measurements for in each fruit harvested were made. In the study, from fruit characteristics, fruit ratio without seed and seed coat, seed ratio, seed weight and seed coat ratio in fruit and, from seed characteristics, seed length, width, depth and 1000 seed weight; from yield components, the fruit yield, fruit yield per plant, single fruit weight per plant, number of fruits per plant and fruit length were determined. According to the results obtained from the research, the highest fruit yield per unit area was obtained from planting distance of 70x50 cm. In addition, the values obtained from the same planting distance in terms of fruit weight, fruit weight and fruit ratio without seed and seed coat, seed length, seed width and seed depth were higher than the one's which obtained from other planting distances

Effects of Different Planting Frequency to Some Agricultural Traits of Bitter Melon (Momordica charantia L.) Grown in Rize Ecological Conditions

Abstract

Deneme, 2013 yılında Ziraat ve Doğa Bilimleri Fakültesi Araştırma ve Uygulama Bahçesinde Tesadüf Blokları Deneme Desenine göre 3 tekrarlamalı olarak kurulmuştur. Serada viyoller içinde yetiştirilen Kudret Narı fideleri 20.05.2013 tarihinde farklı sıklıklarda (70x50 cm, 70x100 cm, 70x150 cm) araziye dikilmiştir. Hasat, 12 Ağustos’da başlamış ve 18 Eylül’de sona ermiştir. Araştırmada meyve özelliklerinden iç meyve oranı, meyvede tohum oranı, meyvede tohum ağırlığı ve meyvede kırmızı örtü oranı; tohum özelliklerinden tohum uzunluğu, tohum genişliği, tohum derinliği ve 1000 tohum ağırlığı; verim unsurlarından meyve verimi, bitkide meyve verimi, bitkide tek meyve ağırlığı, bitkide meyve sayısı ve meyve uzunlukları belirlenmiştir. Araştırmadan elde edilen sonuçlara göre 70x50 cm dikim mesafesinden birim alandan en yüksek meyve verim elde edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte aynı dikim mesafesinden meyve ağırlığı, iç meyve ağırlığı, meyve iç oranı, tohum uzunluğu, tohum genişliği ve tohum derinliği bakımından elde edilen değerler, diğer dikim mesafelerinden elde edilen değerlere göre daha yüksek çıkmıştır
