Abstract

The increasing use of geothermal resources for generating electrical energy has brought the negative impact of geothermal fluids on the surrounding agricultural areas in Turkey. Alkali grass is one of the halophyte plant species that is spreading in marginal areas such as waterlogged, excessively alkaline and salty. We conducted the study to test the response of alkali grass genotypes to geothermal and mineral water used as irrigation water. Geothermal water negatively affected the observed traits by 14.01% (panicle length) and 64.21% (seed yield). The number of tillers per plant for biomass and the number of panicles per plant and plant height for seed yield were the determinant traits. Genotypes XII and XI were determined as seed-type, whereas genotypes IX and VIII were determined as biomass-type according to the Biplot graph.

Çorak Çimi (Puccinellia ciliata Bor) Genotiplerinin Jeotermal Su Uygulamasına Tepkisi

Abstract

Elektrik enerjisi üretimi için jeotermal kaynakların artan kullanımı, Türkiye'de jeotermal akışkanların çevredeki tarım alanları üzerindeki olumsuz etkilerini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Alkali çim su göllenmiş, aşırı alkali ve tuzlu olarak tanımlanan bu marjinal alanlarda yayılan halofit bitki türlerinden biridir. Bu çalışmayı, alkali çim genotiplerinin sulama suyu olarak kullanılan jeotermal ve mineral suya tepkisini test etmek için yürüttük. Jeotermal su, gözlenen özellikleri %14,01 (salkım uzunluğu) ve %64,21 (tohum verimi) oranında olumsuz etkiledi. Biyokütle için kardeş sayısı ve tohum verimi için ise salkım sayısı ve bitki boyu belirleyici karakterler olmuştur. Biplot grafiğine göre XII ve XI genotipleri tohum tipi olarak belirlenirken, IX ve VIII genotipleri biyokütle tipi olarak saptanmıştır.
