Abstract:

 Peanut Arachis hypogaea L. is an important arable crop. However, weeds cause significant yield losses difficulties. This study was conducted to determine the occurrence frequency and density of weed species in peanut fields in Adana province. In the 2021 vegetation period, surveys were conducted in 50 peanut fields in Adana and its districts. As a result of the surveys, 38 weed species belonging to 17 different families were identified. The Poaceae family had the highest number of weed species with 12 species, followed by the Amaranthaceae family with 4 species. Other important families included Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Convolvulaceae, Malvaceae, and Solanaceae, each represented by 2 species. The studies showed that most of the weeds in peanut fields were broadleaf and annual species. According to survey results, species such as Cyperus rotundus L. 78, Sorghum halepense L. Pers 67, Xanthium strumarium L. 52, Convolvulus arvensis L. 49, and Portulaca oleracea L. 46 were among the most common weeds in the region with the highest occurrence frequencies. In terms of density, Setaria viridis L. P. Beauv. 1,050 plantsm² had the highest density. Other dense species included C. rotundus 0.715 plantsm², Echinochloa colona L. 0.630 plantsm², Echinochloa crus-galli L. P. Beauv. 0.505 plantsm², and S. halepense 0.425 plantsm². These species are dominant in the weed flora of the region with high occurrence frequencies and density levels.

 Yerfıstığı Arachis hypogaea L., ekim alanlarında yabancı otların neden olduğu verim kayıpları nedeniyle önemli bir sorun teşkil etmektedir. Bu çalışma, Adana ilindeki yerfıstığı ekim alanlarında bulunan yabancı ot türlerinin rastlama sıklığı ve yoğunluklarını belirlemek amacıyla gerçekleştirilmiştir. 2021 yılı vejetasyon döneminde, Adana ili ve ilçelerinde toplamda 50 yerfıstığı tarlasında surveyler yapılmıştır. Surveyler sonucunda, 17 farklı familyaya ait 38 yabancı ot türü tespit edilmiştir. Poaceae familyası, 12 türle en fazla yabancı ot barındırırken, Amaranthaceae familyası ise 4 türle ikinci sıradadır. Diğer önemli familyalar arasında Euphorbiaceae, Asteraceae, Cyperaceae, Convolvulaceae, Malvaceae ve Solanaceae yer almakta ve her biri 2 türle temsil edilmektedir. Yapılan incelemeler, yerfıstığı ekim alanlarındaki yabancı otların büyük çoğunluğunun geniş yapraklı ve tek yıllık türlerden oluştuğunu göstermektedir. Survey sonuçlarına göre, Cyperus rotundus L. 78, Sorghum halepense L. Pers 67, Xanthium strumarium L. 52, Convolvulus arvensis L. 49 ve Portulaca oleracea L. 46 gibi türler, en yüksek rastlama sıklığına sahip olup bölgedeki en yaygın yabancı otlar arasında yer almaktadır. Yoğunluk açısından, Setaria viridis L. P. Beauv. 1,050 adetm² en yüksek yoğunluğa sahip tür olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Diğer yoğun türler sırasıyla C. rotundus 0,715 adetm², Echinochloa colona L. 0,630 adetm², Echinochloa crus-galli L. P. Beauv 0,505 adetm² ve S. halepense 0,425 adetm² olarak belirlenmiştir. Bu türler, yüksek rastlama sıklığı ve yoğunluk seviyeleriyle bölgedeki yabancı ot florasında baskın durumdadır.
