Abstract

This research was carried out to determine the effect of salicylic acid and silicon application on plant development and some physiological parameters in cotton under normal irrigation and 50% water stress conditions. Three factors were considered in the experiment: irrigation, variety and application. Three cotton varieties (Stoneville 468, DP 499 and SJ-U 86) were used as material, two levels of irrigation (Normal irrigation and 50% water stress), and four salicylic acid and silicon applications (Control, SA, SI and SA+SI) were performed. In the study, stem length, stem weight, number of nodes and leaf area showed higher values under normal irrigation, while chlorophyll content and root/shoot ratio showed higher values under water stress conditions. Significant differences were obtained among the varieties in terms of root length, root weight, stem length, stem weight, number of nodes and canopy temperature. It was determined that salicylic acid and silicon applications had significant effects on root length, stem weight and root/shoot ratio and the highest values in terms of these properties were obtained by applying salicylic acid and silicon together. As a result of the study, many growth indicators in the plant were negatively affected by water stress and the best values among the varieties were obtained from the SJ-U 86 variety. In the study, it is seen that more promising results are obtained by applying salicylic acid and silicon together, and it is suggested that the SJ-U 86 variety can be preferred under water stress conditions, but water stress should be avoided.

Salisilik asit ve silisyumun normal sulama ve su stresi koşullarında erken dönem pamuk gelişimine etkisi

Abstract

Bu araştırma pamukta normal sulama ve %50 su stresi koşullarında salisilik asit ve silisyum uygulamasının bitki gelişimine ve bazı fizyolojik parametrelere etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Denemede sulama, çeşit ve uygulama olmak üzere üç faktör ele alınmıştır. Materyal olarak üç pamuk çeşidi kullanılmış (Stoneville 468, DP 499 ve SJ-U 86), sulamanın iki seviyesi (Normal sulama ve % 50 su stresi), salisilik asit ile silisyum ise (Kontrol, SA, Sİ ve SA+Sİ) 4 uygulama olarak ele alınmıştır. Araştırmada gövde uzunluğu, gövde ağırlığı, boğum sayısı ve yaprak alanı normal sulama koşullarında, klorofil içeriği ve kök/gövde oranı ise su stresi koşullarında daha yüksek değer vermiştir. Çeşitler arasında kök uzunluğu, kök ağırlığı, gövde uzunluğu, gövde ağırlığı, boğum sayısı ve kanopi sıcaklığı bakımından önemli farklılıklar elde edilmiştir. Salisilik asit ve silisyum uygulamalarının kök uzunluğu ve gövde ağırlığı ile kök/gövde oranı üzerine önemli etkilerinin bulunduğu belirlenmiş, bu özellikler bakımından en yüksek değerler salisilik asit ve silisyumun birlikte uygulanması ile elde edilmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda su stresinin bitkide birçok büyüme göstergesini olumsuz etkilediği ve çeşitler arasında en iyi değerlerin SJ-U 86 çeşidinden elde edildiği tespit edilmiştir. Salisilik asit ve silisyumun birlikte uygulanması ile daha ümit var sonuçların elde edildiği, su stresi koşullarında SJ-U 86 çeşidinin tercih edilebileceği, ancak su stresinden kaçınılması gerektiği önerilmektedir.
