Abstract:

 One of the consequences of global climate change, the increase in drought, causes water scarcity in agricultural production. Therefore, it is necessary to use irrigation practices that will ensure the sustainability of the limited water resources and to implement water management. In this study, it was objected to assess the effects of deficit irrigation treatments using drip irrigation system on yield and quality parameters of pickling cucumber cv. Calypso F1 plants in open field conditions. In this experiment, irrigation treatments were performed at four different levels of 100 S100, 75 S75, 50 S50 and 25 S25 of using the Class A evaporation container. Accordingly, the highest yield per plant was obtained from S100 244.08 g-1 and S75 235.81 gbitki-1 treatments and yield loss was determined along with the S50 198.25 gbitki-1 treatment. Besides, plant height, leaf relative water content LRWC, fruit hardness, pH, chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b and total chlorophyll and total phenolic content values decreased, water-soluble dry matter WSDM increased. Changes in the values of titratable acid TA and electrical conductivity EC were not found as statistically significant P0.05. Significant differences were observed between fruit colour parameters in terms of L, a, b, Chroma C and hue P0.05. In conclusion, it was determined that S75 treatment can be used in pickling cucumber cv. Calypso F1 production by using the irrigation water effectively and minimizing yield and quality loss in fruits.

 Küresel iklim değişikliğinin sonuçlarından biri olan kuraklığın artması, tarımsal üretimde su kıtlığının yaşanmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle, var olan sınırlı su kaynaklarının sürdürülebilirliğini sağlayacak sulama uygulamalarının kullanılması ve su yönetiminin yapılması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada, açık tarla koşullarında damlama sulama yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan kısıtlı sulama uygulamalarının Calypso F1 çeşidi turşuluk hıyar bitkilerinde meyve verim ve kalite özellikleri üzerine olan etkilerinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Denemede sulama suyu miktarlarının belirlenmesinde A sınıfı buharlaşma kabı kullanılmış; 100 S100, 75 S75, 50 S50 ve 25 S25 olmak üzere dört farklı seviyede sulama uygulamaları yapılmıştır. Buna göre; bitki başına düşen en yüksek verim S100 244.08 g-1 ve S75 235.81 gbitki-1 uygulamalarından elde edilmiştir. Özellikle, S50 uygulaması 198.25 gbitki-1 ile birlikte verimde kayıplar meydana geldiği tespit edilmiştir. Bunun yanı sıra, su miktarının azalması ile bitki boyu, yaprak oransal su kapsamı YOSK, meyve eti sertliği, pH, toplam fenolik madde, klorofil a, klorofil b ve toplam klorofil miktarı değerlerinin azaldığı; suda çözünebilir kuru madde SÇKM miktarının arttığı belirlenmiştir. Titre edilebilir asit TEA ve elektriksel iletkenlik EC değerlerinde meydana gelen değişimler ise istatistiksel olarak önemli bulunmamıştır P0.05. Meyve rengi L, a b, Kroma C ve hue açısı hue değerleri bakımından da uygulamalar arasında önemli farklılıklar saptanmıştır P0.05. Sonuç olarak; Calypso F1 turşuluk hıyar çeşitinde, sulama suyunu etkin kullanarak, meyvelerde verim ve kalite kaybını en aza indirerek üretim yapabilmek için S75 uygulamasının kullanılabileceği belirlenmiştir.
