Effects of Tryptophan Application on Vegetative Growth in Strawberry Cultivation

Öz

Strawberry, which is one of the berry fruits, is a type of fruit that can be easily grown in all suitable growing conditions in our country. Tryptophan is an amino acid with important effects on both human health and plant growth and development. The aim of this study conducted in Atatürk Forest Farm greenhouses was to determine the effects of different application methods and doses of tryptophan on some vegetative growth criteria of strawberry. For this purpose, plant root length, stem diameter, plant height, leaf area, dry weight and number of branches were measured. As a result of the evaluation, it was determined that 1.0 mM dose of tryptophan applied through soil had positive effects on the parameters examined.

Triptofan Uygulamasının Çilek Yetiştiriciliğinde Vejetatif Büyüme Üzerine Etkileri

Öz

Üzümsü meyveler içerisinde yer alan çilek, ülkemizde uygun tüm yetiştirme koşullarında kolaylıkla yetiştirilebilen bir meyve türüdür. Triptofan hem insan sağlığı hem de bitki büyümesi ve gelişimi üzerine önemli etkileri olan bir aminoasittir. Atatürk Orman Çiftliği seralarında yürütülen bu çalışmanın amacı triptofanın farklı uygulama şekli ve dozlarını çilekte bazı vejetatif büyüme kriterleri üzerindeki etkilerinin belirlenmesidir. Bu amaçla bitki kök uzunluğu, gövde çapı, bitki boyu, yaprak alanı, kuru ağırlık ve kol sayıları ölçülmüştür. Yapılan değerlendirme sonucunda topraktan uygulanan triptofanın 1.0 mM dozu incelenen parametreler üzerine olumlu etkilerinin olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
