Salt Tolerance Of Pepper Cultivars During Germination And Seedling Growth, Ertan Yildirim, İsmai̇l Güvenç Jan 2006

Salt Tolerance Of Pepper Cultivars During Germination And Seedling Growth, Ertan Yildirim, İsmai̇l Güvenç

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was conducted to evaluate the effect of salinity on the germination and emergence of pepper cultivars, and to investigate the potential for genetic salt tolerance during germination and seedling growth. Thus, seeds of 11 pepper cultivars were germinated using 0, 85, 170, and 215 mM NaCl solutions for 14 days. Germination percentage decreased with increased NaCl concentration. All cultivars germinated in all salinities, with the exception of Kandil Dolma in 215 mM NaCl. The greatest germination percentage at 215 mM of NaCl was 71% for 11-B-14. NaCl salinity at different concentrations adversely affected germination rates of the 11 …


Effects Of Some Plant Materials On Phytophthora Blight (Phytophthora Capsici Leon.) Of Pepper, Fi̇kret Demi̇rci̇, F. Sara Dolar Jan 2006

Effects Of Some Plant Materials On Phytophthora Blight (Phytophthora Capsici Leon.) Of Pepper, Fi̇kret Demi̇rci̇, F. Sara Dolar

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Effects of dried garlic, peppermint, cabbage, lentil, alfalfa, onion, radish, and garden cress plant materials on Phytophthora blight (Phytophthora capsici Leon.) of pepper were determined, in both in vitro and in vivo conditions. Extracts of the plant materials were used in vitro. The plant materials were extracted in ethanol and were added to corn meal agar (CMA) at 5 and 10 µg ml^{-1}. The extracts of alfalfa, garlic, cabbage, and peppermint reduced colony diameter of P. capsici on corn meal agar between 3.46% and 13.73%, whereas mycelial growth of P. capsici was increased by onion, radish, garden cress, and lentil …


Amblyseius Californicus (Mcgregor, 1954) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), A New Record For The Turkish Fauna, İbrahi̇m Çakmak, Sultan Çobanoğlu Jan 2006

Amblyseius Californicus (Mcgregor, 1954) (Acari: Phytoseiidae), A New Record For The Turkish Fauna, İbrahi̇m Çakmak, Sultan Çobanoğlu

Turkish Journal of Zoology

During 2001-2003, Amblyseius californicus (McGregor) was collected from the strawberry, peach, bean and pepper, where it was associated with Tetranychus urticae and Panonychus ulmi in Kuşadası, Aydın, Turkey. The descriptions and drawings of male and female A. californicus, which is a new record for the Turkish fauna, are given.
