Actual crop evapotranspiration (ETc) is not only essential for irrigation management but also difficult to estimate and measure. The classical "two-step" approach of ETc estimation, using the reference (ETo) coefficient (Kc), utilised worldwide. In this study, we aimed evaluate potential artificial neural networks (ANN) estimations in closed soilless culture systems. Tomato (cv. Duru) plants were grown two substrates, perlite coco fibre, an unheated plastic greenhouse. During growing seasons...
Water‐filled tensiometers are widely used to measure the matric potential of soil water. It is often assumed that, because these give a direct reading, they accurate. With series laboratory tests with model systems increasing complexity we show that output water‐filled can, particularly in drying soils, be serious error. Specifically, demonstrated can indicate steady potential, typically between −60 and −90 kPa, when much drier. We demonstrate use potentials smaller than −100 kPa field. The...
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,...
Abstract Organic farming seems to be a solution in environmentally sensitive zones such as the protection zone of Tahtalı Dam, which supplies fresh water Izmir, third largest city Turkey. Greenhouse vegetable production is major agricultural activity this area (Menderes Township). However, due pollution risk from agriculture, governmental authorities have issued regulation discouraging use chemicals within collection basin dam. An on-farm project was conducted 2001 introduce organic...

ISHS International Symposium Greenhouse Management for Better Yield & Quality in Mild Winter Climates SOILLESS CULTURE OF CUCUMBER IN GLASSHOUSES: II. A COMPARISON OPEN AND CLOSED SYSTEMS ON WATER NUTRIENT CONSUMPTION
In this study aimed at increasing sustainability in soilless cultivation, volcanic tuff was used as substrate and the tested plant material blocky type pepper (cv. 4-Ever F1). Three experimental factors were evaluated: cultivation system (open or closed), nutrient composition (N1, N2, N3, N4) irrigation frequency (I1, I2, I3, I4). Macro concentrations of N3 N4 2-, 3- 4-fold N1. Concentrations micronutrients same for all treatments. Irrigation started when indoor solar radiation reached 6, 4,...
This study was conducted to introduce organic greenhouse tomato production by comparing different fertilizers during the autumn and spring seasons of 2001 2002. The tested were (1) poultry manure, 30 tons ha-1, (2) farmyard (3) 50 (4) commercial (biofarm) 2.5 ha-1. Seedlings cultivars Beril 7314 Celeya planted on 31 August 13 March 2002, in season production, respectively. highest total yield (7.48 kg m-2) obtained from ha-1 autumn, whereas yields did not differ statistically significant...
