Abstract:

 Weeds are among the most significant factors that limit the production of lentils Lens culinaris Medic., increase production costs, and reduce yield and quality. This study was aimed at determining the weed species and their densities mixed in lentil crop in Merkez and Kurtalan districts of Siirt province, Türkiye. The study was conducted on samples taken from 70 different lentil product piles, both post-harvest and pre-selector, during the years 2020-2021. The study revealed that lentil products were contaminated with seeds from 43 different weed species belonging to 13 families. The density of weed seeds was 538.6 seeds kg-1, whereas the weight of the weed seeds was 9.58 g kg-1. The species with the highest incidence were Galium spp. 96.96, Vicia sativa L. 95.45, Vicia spp. 95.11, Avena spp. 93.60, Neslia paniculata subsp. thracica Velen. Bornm. 92.08, Ranunculus arvensis L. 90.23, Vicia narbonensis L. 71.71, Cephalaria syriaca L. Schrad. 81.98, Vaccaria hispanica Mill. Rauschert 76.43, Triticum sp. 68.35, Sinapis arvensis L. 66.66, Scandix pecten-veneris L. 60.77 and Hordeum vulgare L. 51.34. One of the most significant ways of dispersal and spread of weeds is through seed transportation. Therefore, it has been concluded that in the region, seed lentils should be selected from certified varieties or, alternatively, must go through a meticulous selection process using a seed cleaner before being used.

 Yabancı otlar mercimek Lens culinaris Medic.te üretimi sınırlandıran, üretim maliyetlerini arttıran, verimi ve kaliteyi düşüren en önemli faktörlerin başında gelmektedir. Bu çalışmayla, Siirt Merkez ve Kurtalan ilçelerinde hasat edilen mercimek ürününe karışan yabancı ot tür ve yoğunluklarının belirlenmesi hedeflenmiştir. Çalışma 2020-2021 yıllarında hasat sonrası ve selektör öncesi 70 farklı mercimek ürün yığınından alınan örnekler üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Çalışma sonucunda mercimek ürününe 13 familyaya dahil 43 yabancı ot türüne ait tohumların bulaştığı saptanmıştır. Mercimek ürününe karışan yabancı ot tohum sayısının 538.6 adet kg-1 olduğu ve örneklerde rastlanan yabancı ot tohumlarının ortalama olarak toplam ağırlığının 9.58 g kg-1 olduğu belirlenmiştir. Mercimek ürününde tohumlarına en sık rastlanan yabancı ot türlerinin sırasıyla; Galium spp.  96.96, Vicia sativa L.  95.45, Vicia spp.  95.11, Avena spp.  93.60, Neslia paniculata subsp. thracica Velen. Bornm.  92.08, Ranunculus arvensis L.  90.23, Vicia narbonensis L.  71.71, Cephalaria syriaca L. Schrad.  81.98, Vaccaria hispanica Mill. Rauschert  76.43, Triticum sp.  68.35, Sinapis arvensis L.  66.66, Scandix pecten-veneris L.  60.77 ve Hordeum vulgare L.  51.34 olduğu görülmüştür. Yabancı otların en önemli dağılma ve yayılma yollarından biri de tohumlukla taşınmadır. Bu nedenle bölgede tohumluk mercimeğin sertifikalı çeşitlerden seçilmesi veya mutlaka titiz bir şekilde selektörden geçirdikten sonra kullanılması gerektiği sonucuna varılmıştır.
