Vegetable production worldwide is heavily influenced by climate change. We aimed to determine the responses of some local tomato landraces from Mediterranean countries pre-selected as drought tolerant according previous screening tests at an early stage. Three irrigation approaches were applied: Full (Ir-Full), Deficit 1 (Ir-Def1), and 2 (Ir-Def2) irrigation. Drought stress was simulated via controlled deficit, reducing amount water applied 35% 50% in Ir-Def1 Ir-Def2, respectively. Plant...
The protected cultivation industry in mild winter climates is mainly involved vegetable growing, usually Solanacea (tomato, pepper and eggplant) Cucurbitacea (melon, summer squash, watermelon cucumber), although floricultural ornamental crops have also gradually increased importance recent years.In addition, the last decade, fruit tree been incorporated this industry.However, all cases, there a continuing need for crop diversification order to supply market with new products.There several...
Tomato plants (cv. Primadonna F1), non-grafted, self-grafted, or grafted onto the commercial rootstocks 'He-man' and 'Maxifort', were grown in recirculating nutrient solution. The uptake concentrations (UCs), i.e. mean nutrient-to-water ratios of N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu, B, estimated based either on depletion from solution accumulation plant biomass. Grafting both increased total Hetero-grafting also leaf Cu but decreased those Mg Fe comparison with self- non-grafted plants. UCs...
Grafted plants are often more tolerant to salinity than nongrafted controls. In order distinguish differential response components in grafted melon (Cucumis melo L.), salt stress was imposed on several rootstock-scion combinations four experiments. The rootstock used an interspecific squash (Cucurbita maxima Duch.×Cucurbita moschate Duch.), RS841, combined with two cantaloupe (C. var. cantalupensis) cultivars, namely London and Brennus, against both self-grafted Physiological, morphological...
This study was conducted in a greenhouse Izmir/Turkey during the winter-early spring of 2016-2017, on spinach grown floating water culture system.Cultivation carried out aerated nutrient solutions seedling trays, and peat used as germination rooting medium.Each seed inserted to each hole (17 cc) trays with 210 cells (957 plant m -2 ).Following chamber, were moved climate controlled greenhouse.After emergence, seedlings transferred 07.12.2016 10.03.2017 for 1 st 2 nd period, respectively.The...
Olive oil byproducts show differences according to the olive extraction systems, which are called mill solid wastes, wastewater and sludge. Three different kinds of composts, including two-phase three-phase sludge were produced with separated dairy manure, poultry straw. The composts obtained from wastes named as two-phase, three-phase, water respectively. They separately enriched by rock phosphate potassium salt. These mixed peat in a ratio 0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, 100% (v/v). Tomato seeds sown...
The effects of some alternative control methods consisting biofumigation, intercropping with attractive plants, grafting, solarization or biological nematicides against Meloidogyne incognita in organic tomato production were evaluated two successive short growing cycles (2007 autumn and 2008 spring) unheated greenhouse conditions. Eight treatments investigated both seasons while four the same each year, different. Soil was applied for 6 weeks a covering 110 μm thickness clear polyethylene...
Soil salinization due to climate change and intensive use of water soil is increasing exponentially. Cucurbitaceae species are cultivated worldwide the identification salinity tolerant genotypes be used as rootstock or scion for securing yield stability in salt affected agricultural areas a research priority. In present greenhouse study, we assessed response (0 mM non-salt control 150 NaCl dissolved nutrient solution) seedlings 30 cucurbits grown floating hydroponic system. The tested...
Soilless culture is growing plants without use of soil as a rooting medium, and divided into water substrate culture. Among the techniques, float hydroponics adopted for cultivation fresh-cut leafy vegetables aromatic plants. Substrate by using plastic bags has been applied successfully at commercial level fruiting vegetables. Production scale, crops, cycles length each cycle, cost management skills should be considered well environmental concerns in decision soilless system. Therefore,...

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate by-products olive oil production in compost and test them different rates as tomato ('Melis') seedling growing medium. Therefore, three types wastes (two-phase phase mill waste water sludge) were composted with separated dairy manure, poultry straw using aerated static pile composting methods obtain composts separately. Additionally, each enriched cotton seed meal, potassium salt, rock phosphate. In the experiments, (25, 50, 75 100%) six added peat...
