Effects of Farm Manure, Vermicompost and Plant Growth Regulators on Yield and Fruit Quality in Watermelon
Abstract
This study was conducted in 2018, under open field conditions in Adıyaman Province of Turkey to determine the effects of farm manure, vermicompost and plant growth regulators on yield and some fruit quality parameter of watermelon. Matured farm manure, vermicompost and three different plant growth regulators (Crop-Set, Endoroots and ISR-2000) were used to compare with control (not fertilizers applied) application. Vermicompost, farm manure, Endoroots, ISR-2000 and Crop-Set were applied to the plants at 150 kg, 2 tons, 250 g, 60 cc and 90 cc da-1 doses, respectively. The highest yield result was obtained from Endoroots application (11.630 tons da-1). Fruit weight varied between 2.93 (control) kg and 5.01 kg (vermicompost). Higher results were observed from vermicompost application for fruit weight, fruit width, fruit height, phenolic. Total Soluble Solids (TSS) was recorded statistically significant for Endoroots application. Applied plant growth regulators, farm manure and vermicompost fertilizers had significant effects on pomological and phenological characteristics of watermelon under semi-arid conditions. The highest results have been determined from Endoroots and vermicompost applications. As a result of this study, Endoroots (250 g da-1) and vermicompost (150 kg da-1) fertilizers can be concluded as a beneficial application for watermelon cultivation.

Çiftlik Gübresi, Vermikompost ve Bitki Büyüme Düzenleyicilerinin Karpuz Meyvesinde Verim ve Meyve Kaliteye Etkileri
Abstract
Bu çalışma, 2018 yılında Türkiye'nin Adıyaman ilinde açık alan koşullarında organik gübrelerin ve bitki büyüme düzenleyicilerinin karpuzun verim ve bazı meyve kalitesi parametrelerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Kontrol (hiç uygulama yapılmayan) ile karşılaştırmak için çiftlik gübresi, vermikompost ve üç farklı bitki büyüme düzenleyicileri (Crop-Set, Endoroots ve ISR-2000) kullanılmıştır. Vermikompost, çiftlik gübresi, endoroots, ISR-2000 ve Crop-Set sırasıyla150 kg, 2 tons, 250 g, 60 cc ve 90 cc da-1 dozları olacak şekilde bitkilere uygulanmıştır. En yüksek verim (11.630 ton da-1) sonucu Endoroots uygulamasından elde edilmiştir Meyve ağırlığı 2,93 kg (control) ile 5,01(vermicompost) kg arasında değişmektedir. Meyve ağırlığı, meyve genişliği, meyve yüksekliği, fenolik için vermikompost uygulamasından daha yüksek sonuçlar elde edilmiştir. Suda Çözünebilir Kuru Madde Miktarı (SÇKM) Endoroots uygulaması için istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Uygulanan bitki büyüme düzenleyicileri, çiftlik gübresi ve vermikompostun, yarı kurak koşullar altında karpuzun pomolojik ve fenolojik özellikleri üzerinde önemli etkileri olmuştur. En yüksek sonuçlar Endoroots ve vermicompost uygulamalarından belirlenmiştir. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda, Endoroots (278 g da-1) ve vermikompost (150 kg da-1) gübreleri, karpuz yetiştiriciliği için faydalı uygulamalar olarak sunulmaktadır.
