Determination of Desalinated Sea Water Usage Possibilities in Muscari armeniacum (Grape Hyacinth) Cultivation

Öz

In the current period of time, many environmental problems have occurred in the world with the population increase, industrialization and construction, along with migration from rural areas to urban areas. Among the environmental problems that occur due to all these developments; the decrease in potable and usable freshwater resources, global warming, climate change and drought are the leading environmental problems. This study was carried out in the open field of a private apartment building in Izmir, Turkey to determine the possibility of using desalinated seawater in the cultivation of Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker. Depending on the purpose of the study, Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker was grown using desalinated seawater and tap water (control). To determine the effect of desalinated seawater on plant growth, leaf length, leaf width, root length, underground part weight, number of bulblets and upper part weight were measured. It was observed that Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker plants showed normal growth when desalinated seawater was used throughout the experiment. According to the statistical analysis, the difference between desalinated sea water and tap water was significant only in leaf length and leaf width parameters. While the average leaf length was 54.47 cm and leaf width were 5.71 mm in tap water (control), the average leaf length was 53.47 cm and leaf width were 5.19 mm in desalinated sea water treatment. The effect of irrigation water sources on other parameters was statistically insignificant. As a result of the study, desalinated seawater can be used for the cultivation of Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker. It is recommended that studies evaluating the possibilities of using desalinated sea water in the cultivation of different ornamental plant species will contribute to the literature.

Muscari armeniacum (Üzüm Sümbülü) Yetiştiriciliğinde Tuzdan Arındırılmış Deniz Suyu Kullanım Olanaklarının Belirlenmesi

Öz

İçinde bulunduğumuz zaman diliminde kırsal alanlardan kentsel alanlara doğru yapılan göçler ile birlikte gerçekleşen nüfus artışı, sanayileşme ve yapılaşma ile birlikte dünya üzerinde birçok çevre sorunu meydana gelmiştir. Tüm bu gelişmelere bağlı olarak meydana gelen çevre sorunları içerisinde; içilebilir ve kullanılabilir tatlı su kaynaklarındaki azalma, küresel ısınma, iklim değişikliği ve kuraklık bu çevre sorunlarının başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışma, Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker yetiştiriciliğinde tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyunun kullanım olasılığını belirlemek amacıyla Türkiye’nin İzmir ilinde özel bir apartman dairesine ait açık alanda gerçekleştirilmiştir. Çalışmanın amacına bağlı olarak Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker, tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyu ve musluk suyu (kontrol) kullanılarak yetiştirilmiştir. Tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyunun bitki gelişimi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek için yaprak uzunluğu, yaprak genişliği, kök uzunluğu, toprak altı kısım ağırlığı, yavru soğan sayısı ve üst aksam ağırlığı parametreleri ölçülmüştür. Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker bitkileri, deneme süreci boyunca tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyu kullanımında normal büyüme gösterdiği gözlemlenmiştir. Yapılan istatistiksel analizlere göre, tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyu ve musluk suyu kullanımlarının bitkiler üzerinde sadece yaprak uzunluğu ve yaprak genişliği parametrelerinde gösterdiği farklılık önemli olarak görülmüştür. Musluk suyu (kontrol) kullanımında ortalama yaprak uzunluğu 54.47 cm, yaprak genişliği 5.71 mm olurken, tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyu arıtımında ortalama yaprak uzunluğu 53.47 cm, yaprak genişliği ise 5.19 mm olarak gerçekleşmiştir. Sulama suyu kaynaklarının diğer parametrelere etkisi istatiksel olarak önemsiz bulunmuştur. Çalışmanın sonucu olarak Muscari armeniacum Leichtlin ex Baker bitkisi yetiştiriciliğinde tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyu kullanılabilir olduğu görülmüştür. Tuzdan arındırılmış deniz suyunun farklı süs bitkisi türlerinin yetiştiriciliğinde kullanım olanaklarının değerlendirildiği çalışmaların yapılmasının literatüre katkı sağlayacağı yönünde tavsiyelerde bulunulmuştur.
