Land Suitability Classification Of Tokat-Kazova Agricultural Farm Using Two Different Land Evaluation Methods, Fevzi̇ Akbaş, Mustafa Kiliç Jan 2000

Land Suitability Classification Of Tokat-Kazova Agricultural Farm Using Two Different Land Evaluation Methods, Fevzi̇ Akbaş, Mustafa Kiliç

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The suitability was determined of Kazova Agricultural Farm soils for land utilization types, both those in use and those with a potential for use. Simple Limitation and Şenol Land Evaluation Methods were used. The results from the Simple Limitation Method showed that the Yeşilırmak and Eğertepe series are permanently unsuitable and the Mera series is currently unsuitable for all of the determined land utilization types. While the çaylı and Obalar series are marginally suitable for the land utilization types, the İşletme series is moderately suitable. The Yol series, which has soils with the lowest limitation of the farm soils, is …


Activation Of The Germination On The Seeds Of Some Plants, Meti̇n Saribaş Jan 2000

Activation Of The Germination On The Seeds Of Some Plants, Meti̇n Saribaş

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, activation experiments of germination were done in three species seeds which are naturally distributed in Turkey. Because" The stratification method" needs a long time, a new and faster germination method was sought. The results of the three species are below. Ostrya carpinifolia Scop naturally exists in the Black Sea region, Central Anatolia and as well as in Antalya, Adana and Antakya forests in the Carpinetumzone. This decidous species is from the Betulaceafamily, Coryleaesubfamily, Ostrya L. genus and can be 20m in height with an irregular canopy. Generally, it is confused with CarpinusL. and foresters do not pay …


An Investigation On The Pollen Production Capacities And Germination Rates Of Some Strawberry Cultivars, Fatma Koyuncu, Hüdai̇ Yilmaz, M. Ati̇lla Aşkin Jan 2000

An Investigation On The Pollen Production Capacities And Germination Rates Of Some Strawberry Cultivars, Fatma Koyuncu, Hüdai̇ Yilmaz, M. Ati̇lla Aşkin

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This investigation was conducted to determine the pollen germination rates and the pollen production capacities of some strawberry cultivars grown in Van ecological conditions. The experiments were carried out at the Department of Horticulture, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Yüzüncü Yıl in 1997-1998. The examinations of pollen germinations were done in vitro by the 'agar in plate' method (0, 10, 15, and 20 % sucrose solutions with 1 % agar). The pollen production capacities were determined by the hemacytometric method. Seven strawberry cultivars (Cruz, Tufts, Brio, Tioga, Vista, Aliso and 216), which were tested in germination experiments, gave the best …


Using The Parcel Transposition Ratio (Pyo) In The Evaluation Of Land Consolidation Projects, Yaşar Ayranci Jan 2000

Using The Parcel Transposition Ratio (Pyo) In The Evaluation Of Land Consolidation Projects, Yaşar Ayranci

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, land consolidation projects were evaluated by a different way than usual. According to the results of two different models applied to the Tokat-Erbaa-Yukarı Çandır Village land consolidation area, first of all the previous owners of parcels were identified. Then using these values, in Model A 22.18% of the total area and in Model B 18.31% of the total area were given to the previous owners. For both models, statistical calculations were made between the previous parcel(s) in a block and the parcel(s) given in the same block for all holdings. The relationships were found to be significant …


A New Monumental Chestnut ( Castanea Sativa Mill.) Stand Found In Isparta, Musa Genç, Şükrü Teoman Güner Jan 2000

A New Monumental Chestnut ( Castanea Sativa Mill.) Stand Found In Isparta, Musa Genç, Şükrü Teoman Güner

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Anatolian chestnut (Castanea sativa Mill.) is one of Turkey's indigenous species including monumental forests and trees which are representative of the natural history; and, Isparta, is an area of Turkey with chestnut stands. There are two natural chestnut stands in Ayazmana and the Yenice and Dere districts within Isparta city. The stand located in the Yenice and Dere districts was investigated in the present study. This stand, occupying an area of 61 hectares, was located on the north side between a latitude of 37°44'54" - 37°45'19" north and a longitude of 30°31'47" - 30°32'54" east at 1090-1170 m elevation. The …


The Effects Of Irrigation Water Salinity And Irrigation Water Amounts On Yield And Total Mineral Residues Of Broccoli ( Brassica Oleracea Botrytis), Engi̇n Yurtseven, H. Yonca Baran Jan 2000

The Effects Of Irrigation Water Salinity And Irrigation Water Amounts On Yield And Total Mineral Residues Of Broccoli ( Brassica Oleracea Botrytis), Engi̇n Yurtseven, H. Yonca Baran

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this greenhouse study, the effects of irrigation water salinity in relation with the amounts of irrigation water on broccoli yields and mineral contents were investigated. For this purpose, five salinity levels (EC i =0.25-control, 1, 3, 6 and 9 dS/m) and 3 amounts of water (80, 100 and 120% of required water)were used in a factorial experiment in a completely randomized design with 3 replications. The fresh yields, biomass and total ash contents were determined and evaluated. While the yields were affected by both salinity and irrigation water levels, the biomass and total ash contents were affected only by …


Effects Of Wood Species, Thickness And Cross-Section Factors On Wood Moisture Change Of Some Wood Species In The Indoor Climatical Conditions, Kemal Üçüncü Jan 2000

Effects Of Wood Species, Thickness And Cross-Section Factors On Wood Moisture Change Of Some Wood Species In The Indoor Climatical Conditions, Kemal Üçüncü

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The effects of wood species, thickness and cross-section factors on wood moisture content under centrally heated indoor conditions in Trabzon. Factors of thickness, cross-section and wood species were found to affect daily wood moisture content variation, but these factors did not appear to affect the average monthly wood moisture content. Strong relationship were found between average monthly wood moisture and wood equilibrium moisture contents (r 2 =0.9972), and wood moisture content, temperature and relative humidity (r 2 = 0.9926). According to climatical data for earlier years for indoor conditions in Trabzon, it was estimated that the average annual wood moisture …


Comparison Of Photosynthetic Water Use Efficiency Of Sweet Sorghum At Canopy And Leaf Scales, Mustafa Ünlü, Pasquale Steduto Jan 2000

Comparison Of Photosynthetic Water Use Efficiency Of Sweet Sorghum At Canopy And Leaf Scales, Mustafa Ünlü, Pasquale Steduto

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Little is known about the response of sweet sorghum to water stress. Therefore, the aim of this study was to characterize sweet sorghum physiological water use efficiency (WUE) under progressing water stress conditions, with emphasis on the canopy scale as compared with the leaf scale. Sweet sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor(L.) Moench) was subjected to two water stress cycles. Energy, water vapor, and CO 2 fluxes were estimated at the canopy scale by means of the Bowen ratio/energy balance/CO 2 gradient method (BREB+), and at the leaf scale with a portable photosynthesis system. Predawn (yb) and noon-time leaf water potential (yn) …
