Abstract

Abstract: This study was conducted in the
Çaycuma district of the Zonguldak Province, which is the district with the
highest density of agricultural activities in the city. Water is the basic
resource needed for life and is one of the most important factors that
influence yield and quality in agricultural productions. In the present study,
five locations were randomly selected amongst the irrigated fields of the
district, and the irrigation water samples collected from these fields were
analyzed to determine their pH and electrical conductivity, and their anion,
cation, and boron contents. The relationships between all the measured
properties were tested for statistical relevance with two-tailed Pearson
correlation analysis. Boron content is an important parameter for growing the
boron-susceptible plant species, and a positive relationship between boron (B)
content and pH (r=0,992) was determined with the level of p<0.01. On the
other hand, a negative relationship between the electric conductivity and boron
content was also determined (r= -0.929) with the level of p<0.05. Evaluation
of the analysis results reveals that the
tested waters are appropriate even for growing the boron-susceptible plants and
that it is possible to introduce a wide range of new products as an addition to the ones already grown in the
region.
