    Changes in Some Seedling Growth Parameters, Nutrient Content and Enzyme Activity in Different Melon (Cucumis Melo L.) Genotypes Under Deficit Irrigation Conditions
    (Tarbiat Modares University, 2025) Cakmakci, Ö.; Bitik, S.K.; Ekincialp, A.; Erdinc, Ç.; Kabay, T.; Eser, F.; Sensoy, S.
    Increasing need for drought adaptation measures to conserve water and sustain crop yield in water-scarce regions is driven by severe and recurrent droughts. Achieving sustainable production entails studying deficit irrigation as a means to enhance water productivity and selecting genotypes resilient to soil water deficits. In the present study, 17 different melon (Cucumis melo L.) genotypes collected from the Van Lake Basin and 3 hybrids and 1 standard melon cultivar for control purposes were used for this purpose. The study was carried out under climate room conditions. Two different irrigation levels (I100: 100% full irrigation, I50: 50% Deficit Irrigation-DI) were applied in the study for deficit irrigation. Water applications started with the emergence of the second true leaf of the plants and, after one-month, different growth, nutrient, and enzyme contents of the seedlings were determined. In general, it was determined that deficit water application negatively affected seedling growth, and root dry matter, stomatal opening and density, potassium, APX and SOD enzymes, and MDA content increased, while the other tested parameters decreased. The melon genotypes of the Van Lake Basin were found to vary in response to deficit irrigation treatments. © 2025, Tarbiat Modares University. All rights reserved.

    The Effects of Amf, Whey and Humic Acid Applications on Plant Growth, Yield and Quality in Different Cucurbit Species Under Open Field Conditions
    (Centenary University, 2016) Ekincialp, A.; Erdinç, Ç.; Eser, F.; Demir, S.; Şensoy, S.
    This study was carried out to assess the effects of two different Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (AMF), humic acid (HA) and whey applications on various plant and yield characteristics in melon (Magnum-F1), watermelon (Wonder-F1) and summer squash (Focus-F1) species. At trials implemented in the field, 5 different applications [1-) Control, 2-) AMF, 3-) AMF+Whey, 4-) AMF + HA, and 5-) AMF + Whey + HA] were applied at 4 replications according to randomized block design for all three types of vegetables species. The applications on melon were significant for average yield (28 430 - 41 240 kg ha-1) and average branch length. The applications were significant on watermelon in terms of average yield (51 460-86 580 kg ha-1), average branch length (124.75-165.75 cm), fruit pedicle length; and on summer squash in terms of average yield (27 660-34 540 kg ha-1), TSSC (8.99-10.25 brixº), and weight of fresh leaves. It was observed that the 5th and 4th applications were more superior to the others. According to average yield, especially, the fifth application had the highest mean for all three species. © 2016, Centenary University. All rights reserved.
