Evaporation, Radiation use Efficiencies and Solar Radiation Relationships to be used in an Auotamated Irrigation System for Field Grown Melon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Ananas F1)

Bu çalışmada, A sınıfı buharlaşma kabı yöntemi kullanarak kavunun (Cucumis melo L. cv. Ananas F1)su ihtiyacı, su yönetiminin kavunun vejetatif gelişimi üzerine etkileri, fotosentezde kullanılan aktif radyasyon(IPAR), su kullanım etkinliği (WUE), toplam kuru madde (TDM) için radyasyon kullanım etkinliği (RUE)değerleri belirlenmiştir. Bitki gelişim dönemi olan 89 günlük periyot içerisinde gelen toplam solar radyasyonmiktarı 2174,3 MJ m 2gün-1olmuştur, bu periyot içerisinde gelen solar radyasyonunun 372,69 MJ m-2gün 1kısmı bitki tarafından tutulmuş ve uygulanan sulama suyuna karşılık 23,01 ton ha 1kavun verimi elde edilmiştir.Bu çalışma sonucunda, A sınıfı buharlaşma kabından meydana gelen buharlaşma, solar radyasyon ve ortalamasıcaklık arasında güçlü bir ilişki olduğu ve bu ilişkiden yararlanarak özellikle otomatik sulama sistemlerininaktive edilebileceği düşünülmektedir.

Arazi Koşullarında Yetiştirilen Kavun (Cucumis melo L. cv. Ananas F1) Bitkisinde Kullanılabilecek bir Otomatik Sulama Sisteminde Kullanılabilecek Buharlaşma, Radyasyon Kullanım Etkinliği ve Solar Radyasyon Arasındaki İlişki

This study assessed water needs of melon (Cucumis melo L. cv. Ananas F1) by using class A pan anddetermined the effect of the irrigation management on vegetative growth, the intercepted photosyntheticallyactive radiation (IPAR), water use efficiency (WUE), radiation use efficiency (RUE) for total dry matter (TDM).The incoming amount of solar radiation was 2174.3 MJ m 2day 1for 89 days period, of which 372.69 MJ m 2 day 1intercepted by melon canopy. With the effect of the applied irrigation water of 412.1 mm and theintercepted radiation of 372.69 MJ m 2by the plant canopy, Ananas melon variety produced the yield of 23.01Mg ha 1. Being a strong relationship between evaporation from class A pan and solar radiation and meantemperature, the equation developed in this study is thought to be used to activate the pressurized irrigationsystems automatically.
