Waterlogging Response of Lentil Cultivars Grown in Greenhouse Throughout The Early Vegetative and Recovery Period

Abstract

Under conditions of global climate change, the frequency of climate anomalies is predicted to increase. One of these issues is the problem of waterlogging in agricultural areas as a direct result of the unexpected and severe rainfall that has occurred over the last decades. In this study, the morphological responses to waterlogging stress and the recovery capacity of the lentil cultivars were investigated. A waterlogging stress study was conducted in small water pools with four different lentil varieties (Çağıl, Fırat 87, Kafkas and Kayı). Lentil cultivars were exposed to waterlogging stress for 7 and 14 days in the same greenhouse conditions. Measurements were taken at the end of 7 and 14 days of waterlogging (W-7 and W-14) and during the recovery period after flowering (R-7 and R-14). Lentil cultivars and plant traits were negatively affected by waterlogging stress applications (W-7 and W-14). According to the study, 14-day waterlogging had a greater impact on lentil cultivars than 7-day waterlogging. Total biomass measured after flowering at R-7 and R-14 waterlogging decreased by about 31.5% and 49.3%, respectively. Çağıl cultivar had a tolerance to waterlogging stress, but Kafkas cultivar was sensitive to waterlogging stress.
