Comparative Analysis Of The Relationship Between Morphological, Physiological, And Biochemical Properties In Spinach (Spinacea Oleracea L.) Under Deficit Irrigation Conditions, Musa Seymen
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Drought is an abiotic stress factor that negatively affects plant development and causes economic losses in plant production, and its effect is getting significant every day. Spinach contains a high amount of water and drought stress affects its development as well as causing changes in its biochemical contents. In this study, it is aimed to determine the changes in the morphological, physiological, and biochemical contents of spinach grown under deficit irrigation conditions in different stages of development. For this purpose, by considering five different irrigation levels (I100, I80, I60, I40, and I20), and 4 harvest times determined according to the …
Phosphorus Sorption By Gyttja And Its Effect On The Ph Value And Phosphorus In Acidic Soils, Kadir Saltali, Ahmet Nedi̇rli̇
Phosphorus Sorption By Gyttja And Its Effect On The Ph Value And Phosphorus In Acidic Soils, Kadir Saltali, Ahmet Nedi̇rli̇
Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry
Tea and hazelnut cultivated soils are mainly distributed in Black Sea region of Turkey. Low pH value is a primary problem for those soils; therefore, farmers apply lime once every 3-4 years to raise the pH value of soil. Gyttja is highly rich in organic matter (40.59%) and lime (45.67%), and it is a low cost and considerably abundant in Afşin-Elbistan Coal Basin (estimated reserve is around 4.8 billion tons). The aim of this study was to determine the phosphorus (P) sorption characteristics of gyttja, and its efficiency on P availability and soil's pH value. Optimum P sorption conditions (pH, …

This study reported the experimental analysis on wood briquettes manufactured from Moso bamboo (Phyllostachys pubescens) and beech wood (Fagus sylvatica), regarded as an economically valuable fuel source. The following properties of briquettes: physical properties (density and moisture content); chemical properties (heating value, namely calorific value, and ash content); thermal properties (thermal conductivity and specific heat); and mechanical properties (breaking strength). These properties allowed the assessment of the efficiency of two species for using them in briquette manufacturing. The briquettes with higher fractions of bamboo wood showed enhanced characteristics as compared to the briquettes made of beech. This can be explained …
