The Effect of Different Dripper Properties on Entomopathogenic Nematode Application in Drip Irrigation
Abstract
There are many types of drippers with different
flow path length, flow path shape, filtration surface. EPN delivery performance
of the most commonly used four different types of drippers (in-line short path,
in-line long path, in-line cylindrical and on-line button) was examined with a
drip irrigation system in laboratory conditions. Under four different pressures
(0.5, 1, 1.5, 2 bar), EPNs were applied to 1-liter beakers with irrigation
system and discharged nematodes were counted under a stereomicroscope. The
effect of pressure on application and EPN mortality were also determined. The
results showed that there were significant differences between the discharge
ratio of EPNs from drippers. Among the four drippers, on-line button dripper sustained
the highest and fastest discharge ratio. Pressure alone had no significant
effect on delivering EPNs. However, it should be considered that long pressure
exposure may harm EPNs. Regarding our results, different irrigation drippers
have significantly different effects on EPN discharge ratio. Therefore,
optimizing drip irrigation systems for EPN applications may increase their
performance.

Abstract
Damla sulamada kullanılan damlatıcıların akış yolu
uzunluğu, akış yolu şekli, damlatıcı debisi vb. farklı özellikleri
bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışmada damla sulamada yaygın olarak kullanılan dört farklı
damlatıcının (içten geçik kısa akış yollu damlatıcı, içten geçik uzun akış
yollu damlatıcı, içten geçik silindir tipli damlatıcı, üstten geçik katif
damlatıcı) EPN uygulamasındaki performansları laboratuvarda kurulan damla
sulama sistemiyle karşılaştırılmıştır. Dört farklı basınç altında (0.5, 1, 1.5,
2 bar) EPN’ler 1 litrelik beherlere uygulanmış ve beherlerdeki EPN’ler
süzülerek mikroskop altında sayılmıştır. Çalışmada basıncın ve uygulamaya ve
EPN üzerinde ölümcül etkisi de incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar değerlendirildiğinde farklı
damlatıcılardan çıkan EPN miktarları arasında önemli farklılıklar olduğu tespit
edilmiştir. Denemelerde üstten geçik katif damlatıcı ile yapılan uygulamalarda
en fazla ve en hızlı EPN çıkışı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Basıncın tek başına,
uygulamaya ve EPN üzerine herhangi bir etkisinin olmadığı tespit edilmesine
rağmen uzun süreli yüksek basınca maruz kalan EPN’lerin zarar görebileceği göz
önünde bulundurulmalıdır. Çalışma sonuçları incelendiğinde farklı
damlatıcıların EPN uygulamasında farklı çıkış oranları gösterdiği
belirlenmiştir. Bu nedenle gelecekte damla sulama sistemlerinin EPN uygulaması
üzerine optimize edilmesi ile başarı şansının artacağı düşünülmektedir.
