Karpuzda (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) organik priming uygulamaları / Organic priming applications in watermelon (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai)

Arastirma karpuz (Citrullus lanatus (Thunb.) Matsum. & Nakai) tohumunda organik kokenli priming (on cimlendirme) materyallerinin kullanilabilme potansiyelini belirlemek amaciyla yapilmistir. Arastirmada karpuz priming calismasinda ilk defa uygulanan organik bitkisel kaynaklar kullanilmistir. Karpuz priming calismasinda defne (Laurus nobilis L.), kekik (Thymbra spicata L.) ve deniz yosunu (Ascophyllum nodosum (L.) Le Jolis) ekstraktlari kullanilmistir. Arastirmada karpuz tohumlarinda kekik ve defne priming uygulamalari ilk kez basarili bir sekilde sonuclanmistir. Organik priming uygulamasi yapilan tohumlardan elde edilen fideler daha erken ve daha kisa surede fide gelisimi saglamislardir. Boylece karpuzda organik kokenli priming materyallerinin (defne, kekik ve deniz yosunu) fidelere herhangi bir olumsuz etki yapmadan kimyasal priming yerine basarili bir sekilde kullanilabilecegi sonucuna varilmistir. Arastirmada karpuz tohumunda; priming uygulamasinda kekik, defne ve deniz yosunu etkili bir sekilde kullanilmis, en iyi sonuclar kekik ve yosun priming uygulamalarinda elde edilmistir. Calisma sonucunda dogal-cevreci bitki kaynaklari tohum sanayinde ve teknolojisinde basarili bir sekilde kullanilmis olmaktadir.  This study was conducted to determine the potential using of organic derivated priming (pre-germination) materials on watermelon seeds. In research, organic crop resources were used in watermelon priming firstly. Laurel (Lauris nobilis L.), thyme (Thymbra spicata L.) and seaweeed (Ascophyllum noduum (L.) Le Jolis) extracts were used in watermelon priming. First time, thyme and seaweed priming applications were resulted successfully in watermelon seeds. Growing of seedlings after organic priming were obtained earlier and shorter seedling development. Hence, it was concluded that organic derivated priming materials (laurel, thyme and seaweed) were used successfully instead of chemical priming without negative effect on watermelon seedlings. Thyme and laurel and seaweed were used effectively in watermelon seed priming and best results were obtained from thyme and seaweed priming application. At the end of research, natural-green plant resource have been used successfully in seed industry and technology.
