    Effect of salt in irrigation water on some physical and chemical properties of lettuce plant and soil
    (Chemical Publishing Co., 2010) Yagmur B.; Aydin S.; Okur B.; Coskun A.
    Knowledge of salt tolerance in vegetable plants is necessary to increase productivity and profitability of crop irrigated with saline waters. This research was carried out in Celal Bayar University, Alasehir vocational school glasshouse which is in Manisa, Alasehir located in the west part of Agean region. The purpose of the experiment is to determine salinity effects on some chemical and physical properties of lettuce plant and soil and some vegetative growth parameter of plant which is irrigated with water having different concentrations of salt (NaCl). The experiment was established in a randomized block design with four replications. Salinity levels are in five levels as 0-4-8-12-16 dSm -1 EC. Depending on increasing salt concentration m irrigation water, from the soil saturation extract values, especially Na + from cations and Cl - from anions which are dominant compared to others (K +, Mg 2+, SO 4 2-, HCC 3 -) and also increase of total soluble salt values have caused some negativeness in plant production. Different EC levels in irrigation water showed an important effect on K + and Na + content of soil and only Na + content of plant. Highest values were generally obtained at 4 dSm -1 EC for lettuce plant vegetative growing parameters such as dry and fresh head weight, head length and leaf number per plant. However, the increase in salt content of water (> 4 dSm -1 EC) affected negatively these vegetative growing parameters.

    Quality parameters of vineyard irrigation water in a semi-arid region: The Plain of Alasehir, Turkey
    (Parlar Scientific Publications, 2014) Yagmur B.; Aydin S.; Okur B.; Coban H.; Simsek H.
    Production of seedless raisins is extremely important in Aegean Region in Turkey. The Plain of Alasehir in province of Manisa in Aegean Region is extremely important for seedless raisin production since 25% of the seedless raisin has been grown in this area. The irrigation water samples were collected from 13 different water distribution locations in the Plain of Alasehir. Results showed that pH and EC (electrical conductivity) values were in a reasonable range except EC levels from two locations were slightly high. The vineyard irrigation water in the region was classified as type of C3S1. It was suggested that, the salt content might be monitored continuously since salinity might increase in the soil through the end of the irrigation season. The most common cations were Ca++ and Mg++, and anion was HCO3\ Trace elements and heavy metals were under the risk limits except Mn was high in three locations. Boron was high in nine sampling locations. Overall, irrigation waters in the Plain of Alasehir were suitable for vineyard irrigation as long as the contents of boron and salinity were continuously monitored. © by PSP.

    The nutritional conditions and some heavy metal contents of the vineyards in a semi-arid area
    (Parlar Scientific Publications, 2015) Aydin S.; Yagmur B.; Coban H.; Simsek H.
    Turkey is one of the most important seedless raisin producers in the world market. Approximately, 82% of the seedless raisin has been produced in the western part of Turkey since the climate (semi-arid) of this region is very appropriate to grow seedless grape. More specifically, the Plain of Alasehir, located in the Gediz Basin in Aegean Region has been known its high quality seedless raisin production. About 25% of the seedless raisin of the entire Aegean Region is produced in the Plain of Alasehir. Therefore, the Plain of Alasehir region was selected to determine some heavy metal contents (Cd, Co, Cr, and Pb) and certain macro and micro element contents (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Zn, Mn, and Cu) of the leaf samples obtained from the vineyards in the area. The plant samples from 13 vineyards were analyzed by collecting the samples across the first plant bunch during the veraison period. In terms of nutrition profile, N deficiency was detected in 15% of vineyards while P deficiency was determined in 38.5 % of the vineyards. Similarly, Fe deficiency was detected in the 30.8 % of the vineyards. The contents of Zn, Mn, Cu, K, Ca, and Mg were sufficient in all of the vineyards. Some heavy metal contents of the leaf samples were analyzed and it was found that there was no pollution for the Cd, Co, and Pb in all the vineyards. Cr pollution was not detected in 93.2% of the samples.
