A Research On The Effects Of Fermentation Type And Additives On Quality And Preservation And Development Of Adequate Technique In Brined Vine-Leaves Production, Fikri Başoğlu, İsmet Şahi̇n, Mihriban Korukluoğlu, Vildan Uylaser, Arzu Akpinar

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Various processes were applied to vine-leaves (used in stuffed vine-leaves) to maintain their colour, taste and aroma. Lactic acid, citric acid or salicilic acid of 0.25 % each were added into brine for fermentation of Sultani, Alphons and Erenköy beyazi vine-leaves. Fermentations were carried out in two ways. First one was spontaneous fermentation but in the second one Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus were added in a rate of 3 % as starters. Colour, salt (%), pH, acidity (%), reduced sugar (%) analyses were carried out in fresh vine-leaves. Changes in the amount of salt (%), acidity (%), …

Studies On Fruit Development And Cellular Morphology Of Quinces, Erdem Büyükkoca, İsmail Karaçali

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was conducted to investigate the fruit development and cellular morphology of some quince cultivars selected in Ege Region of Turkey. During the developing period from fullbloom to harvest maturity, fruit diameter increased linearly but fruit weight followed in simple sigmoid curve. The dimensions of radial epidermal and tangential hypodermal cells increased at the same rate and 4-6 fold, isodiametric paranchymatic cells 7 fold. In mature fruit, they were 20-25 x 40-80 µm, 25-40 x 70-100 µm and 300 µm, respectively. The cell number on fruit flesh thicknes has increased from 40 to 110 in 6 weeks from fullbloom …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

The aim of this study was to determine the most suitable seeding rate and cutting stage of Narbonne Vetch (Vicia narbonensis L.) for forage and seed production. This experiment was arranged as split plot design with three replications for forage production. Cutting stages (early bloom, middle bloom, beginning of podding) were main plots and seeding rates (16, 18, 20, 22, 24 kg/da) were considered as sub plots. Another experiment was arranged in Randomized blocks to determine the effect of same seeding rates on seed yield. Plant height, green froage yield and hay yield increased seeding rate.

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

In this study, the possibilities of the utilization of waste water of Gemlik Fertilizer Inc. in agriculture was investigated. With this aim, three-years field trials were carried out at the Experimental Farm of Agricultural Faculty, Uludag University. A considerable increase in the electrical conductivity of the soils irrigated with waste water was observed while ph of these soils was decreased. Although relatively lower tomatoe yields were obtained from the plots irrigated with only waste water, the yields obtained from the plots irrigated with normal irrigation water mixed with waste water at different rates were higher than those of the plots …

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

Differents colchicine doses (0.5 % and 1 %) and treatment periods (1, 2, 4 and 6 hours) were tested in vitro conditions in order to obtain dihaploid lines from parthenogenetic haploid plants which achieved by irradiated pollen. Treatments were made to 3-4 weeks age in vitro microcuttings of Sugar Baby, Halep Karasi and Crimson Sweet varieties. 64 percent of the plants treated with 0.5 % colchicine stayed alive and 56 % of the plants were developed into a new plant. At the doses of 1% the rate of alive and growing plant decrease to 40 %. As for as the …

Changes In Water Content And Other Soil Properties In Different Previous Crops-Wheat Rotation Systems Under Ankara Conditions, Didar Eser, M. Sait Adak, Günal Akbay, Andreas Biesantz, Atilla Atalay, Paul Limberg

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

According to the results obtained from two years rotation experiment, which was carried out under Ankara-Haymana dryfarming conditions during 1991-1993, conclusions can be summarized as follows: Soil water contents measured during vegetation period as well as at harvest time of six previous crops were significantly different in the first year of the rotation. At harvest time of previous crops and planting time of wheat, higher soil water content found in fallow plots in comparison to winter sown legumes (lentil, vetch, pea and Hungarian vetch). Oil radish and mustard as other previous crops, led to the lowest soil water content. In …

Positive Price Outlook For Wheat : Implications For Wa Agriculture, Alan Haagensen, Ian Wilkinson

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

After a 40 year period over which wheat prices have dropped by an average of 2.7 per cent annually in real terms, fundamental changes in wheat supply and demand look set to reverse this trend. It is possible that real prices could increase by as much as 4 per cent anually in the medium term.

Alan Haagensen and Ian Wilkinson look at the forecasts for wheat prices and outline the forces that will influence world supply and demands for wheat.

Skeleton Weed : The Current Situation, Peter Scott, Jon Dodd

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

Skeleton weed is a major threat to western Australia's grain industry. This weed established itself throughout the entire eastern States wheatbelt in just over 50 years and is now found from south-east Queensland to South Australia. It was first founs in Western Australia at Ballidu in 1963, and since that time has been the subject of an ongoing and intensive eradication campaign. Peter Scott and Jon Dodd report on the present status of skeleton weed in Western Australia and outline the progress to date and future directions of the eradication campaign.

Tomato Spotted Wilt Virus And Its Management, Lindrea Latham, Roger Jones

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

In 1993, western flower thrips, an important pest of horticultural crops, was found in Western Australia. Since then there has been an upsurge in damsging virus disease epidemics caused by tomato spotter wilt virus in horticultural crops. This has occurred because western flower thrips is a more effective vector of tomato spotted wilt virus than other thrips species. Lindrea Latham and Roger Jones outline the symptoms, spread and management of this serious virus disease in vegetables and ornamentals.

Virulent Footrot : Mild Or Severe?, Laurie Depiazzi

Journal of the Department of Agriculture, Western Australia, Series 4

The footrot eradication scheme in Western Australia has resulted in a low prevalence of severe footrot.

To appreciate the achievement, we need to understand what exactly is being eradicated. 'S' strains of Dichelorbacter nodosus, the infectious bacterium of footrot, are the target of footrot eradication. Laurie Depiazzi examines the basis for eradicating 'S' strains.
