EFFECT OF IRRIGATION WATER QUALITY ON THE YIELD OF MENTHA PIPERITA

This study was carried out to determine the effect of water quality on mentha yield in plastic pots under greenhouse conditions. There were five different treatments as irrigation water quality which were 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 6 dS/m. An increase in irrigation water salinity decreased mentha yield, dr...

description This study was carried out to determine the effect of water quality on mentha yield in plastic pots under greenhouse conditions. There were five different treatments as irrigation water quality which were 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 6 dS/m. An increase in irrigation water salinity decreased mentha yield, dramatically. The average yield obtained from the pots were found as 40.723 g, 28.46 g, 25.36 g, 17.55 g and 14.82 g at 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 6 dS/m irrigation water salinity levels, respectively. The relationship between electrical conductivity of irrigation water and yield showed that electrical conductivity values of 0.90, 2.25, 4.50 and 9.00 dS/m caused 10 %, 25 %, 50 % and 100 % reduction in the yield, respectively. Total ash contents of plants were affected by irrigation water salinity. Total ash contents were found as 11.70 %, 11.94 %, 12.24 %, 16.34 % and 18.23 % at 0.25, 1, 2, 4 and 6 dS/m irrigation water salinity levels, respectively.
