Ø      The purposes of this study were to determine the effects of oviposition time on egg quality and to examine the possibility of estimating egg shell weight using a formula. The interaction= s in some egg quality measurements were also studied. During the experiment. 80 white and 64 brown layers were housed in cages and fed with a standard layer ration. The birds were given 17 hours of light per day throughout the experiment. Egg quality was checked four times with two week intervals. At = each check, eggs were collected at 09.(oo), 12.(oo) and 15.(oo), on consecutive days. Egg weight (EW), egg specific gravity (ESG) and shell weight (SW) were measured, and then shell ration (SR) and shell weight per unit surface area (SWUSA) were calculated. In addition, the SW was estimated by two formulae using EW and ESG. The data from white and brown layers were analysed separately. The effects of oviposition time and age of hens were tested with variance analysis. The correlation coefficients between quality measurements were determined. The effect of age was not significant (p>0.05). Collect= ion time had a significant (p<0.05) effect on the EW of white and brown laye= rs. For the two groups, the heaviest EWs were determined at the first collection time, and the lightest EWs at the last time. Although the measured SW was n= ot affected by the collection time, it was highest at the first collection. Significant correlations were detected between measured and calculated SW (r between .6612 and .8521, p<0.01 overall). The ESG was more closely correlated with SR and SWUSA than with SW. In addition, negative correlatio= ns were found between EW and ESG as well as with SR.

Ø      Total and individual tocopherol con= tents of sunflower oil, processed either by chemical refining (CR), physical refining (PR) or soft column deodorization (SCD) methods were investigated. Total tocopherol content gradually decreased until the end of the refining process (the deodorization stage). Among the refining methods used CR and PR caused higher losses in the tocopherol content when compared with the SCD method. = The content of alpha-, beta-, gamma- and delta -tocopherols also decreased as a result of the refining process. These significant losses in beta- and gamma -tocopherol contents were determined after the deodorization stage.

&= Oslash;      Twenty-six aged hardaliye samples, collected from different spots of the Kirklareli province of Turkey<= /st1:PlaceName> and hardaliye produced in laboratory conditions using the traditional method were investigated in this study. The pH ranged from 3·21 to 3·= ;97. Red colour (Hunter Lab aLvalue) of samples ranged from 1·33 to 9·66. The total bacterial count ranged from 3·5×102to 8×105cfu ml−1. The lactic acid bacteria counts of the samples w= ere found to be between 1·0×102and 4·0×104cfu mlͨ= 2;1. Yeasts and moulds, which were found in 21 samples out of 26, ranged from 1·0×102to 8·1×104cfu ml−1. Coliforms and Escherichia coli were found in none of the samples. The changes of some microbiological and chemical properties of hardaliye during fermentation we= re investigated. The pH of hardaliye dropped from 3·86 to 3·39. = The ethanol content of the end product was determined as 595·50 mg dl−1. During the fermentation process, the total bacteria count, lact= ic acid bacteria count and yeast count changed from 2·1×105, 6·0×104and 1·2×105cfu ml−1to 1·3×102, 1·2×103and 1·1×103cfu ml−1, respectively. Lactobacilli isolated from hardaliye samples were characterized by API 50 CH and other phenotypic criteria. A succession of Lactobacillus species, dominated by L. paracasei subsp. paracasei and L. ca= sei subsp. pseudoplantarum were found during the fermentation process.

Ø      = In the present work, the heat transfer and friction loss characteristics were investigated experimentally, employing a finned heating surface kept at a constant temperature of 45°C in a rectangular channel through which air was passed as working fluid. The position of the cylindrical fins attached on the surface was arranged either in-line or staggered. The parameters for the study were chosen as Reynolds number (3700–30 000), depending on hydraulic diameter, the distance between fins in the flow direction (Sy/D=3D1.96–4.41) and fin arrange= ment. The variation of Nusselt number with these parameters was determined and presented graphically. For both fin arrangements, it was found that increas= ing Reynolds number increased Nusselt number, and maximum heat transfer occurre= d at Sy/D=3D2.94. Correlations for Nusselt number and friction factor were devel= oped for both fin arrangements and smooth channel, and the thermal performances = of the arrangements were also determined and compared with respect to heat transfer from the same surface without fins. With the staggered array, a he= at transfer enhancement up to 33% at constant pumping power was achieved

Ø  &n= bsp;   In this research Brevibacterium linens was inocula= ted to Kashar cheese with two different methods. Each group of fresh cheese was packed in plastic films (PA/PE) at 1 day intervals. During the storage peri= od (1 month) changes in some physico-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties and colour intensities of the cheeses were examined. According to the results obtained, inoculation of Brevibacterum linens into the cheese m= ilk or onto the cheese surface affected most of the physico-chemical properties such as dry matter, fat, water soluble nitrogen and titratable acidity significantly (p<0.01). Due to the high proteolytic and lipolytic activi= ty of the Brevibacterium linens, the cheeses treated with this culture had the= lowest organoleptic scores. At the end of the storage period a majority of the panellists noticed a fishy ammoniacal flavour in the cheeses inoculated with Brevibacterium linens. No significant changes in the development of the col= our intensity of the cheeses were determined.

Ø      = P= erformances of trotters and development of a genetic model in order to estimate genetic parameters for German trotters. Data on 6,611 trotters with 163,322 records during 1997 and 1999 were analysed with a repeatability animal model using = each individual start of trotters and pedigree information of up to I I generati= ons (13,202 horses). Besides the driver effect, the genetic model included year-season, age and sex of trotter, racing track, distance and condition of race track as fixed effects as well as additive genetic and permanent environmental effects as random effects. Traits analysed were square root of rank at finish, racing time per kin and the logarithms of earnings per star= t. Ignoring the effect of driver resulted in an overestimation of heritability= of 60, 24 and 44% for rank at finish, racing time and earnings, respectively, which shows the necessity to include the driver effect in the model. Drivers regarded as fixed or random effects resulted in a marginal change in parameters. Heritabilities based on the model with fixed driver effect were 0.05, 0.29 and 0.09 for ranks at finish, racing time and earnings, respecti= vely. Genetic correlation between rank and racing time was 0.81. Both traits were highly correlated with earnings of -0.98 and -0.89 for ranking and racing t= ime, respectively. Most important trait for selection of racing performance was = the racing time due to its substantial higher heritability and its high genetic correlation to earnings. Additionally, rank at finish has to be included in= the breeding goal because it reflects more the potential of trotters to win at finish and accounts for records without earnings.<= /p>

Ø      The production of lamb meat is of h= ighest economic value in sheep production. For efficient production of slaughter lambs, the main breeding goals are high reproduction of ewes and high improvement of fattening and carcass composition performances. Objectives of this study were the development of a genetic statistical model for estimati= on of breeding values for fattening and carcass traits recorded on field-tested m= eat sheep from Schleswig-Holstein and the estimation of the genetic parameters = of these traits. Data on meat sheep breeds of German white-headed meat sheep (GWHS), German black-headed meat sheep (GBHS), German Texel (GTS) and Suffolk were avail= able. Traits analysed were live weight gain (LWG), body composition score (BC) and general type (GT) as well as ultrasonic measurements such as muscle depth (= MD) and fat depth (FD). For all breeds an average LWG of 362 g/day was calculat= ed and live weight gain of each breed was 371, 316, 354 and 364 g/day for GWHS, GBHS, GTS and Suffolk. respectively. Heritabilities of LWG for different breeds ranged between h(2= ) =3D 0.26 and 0.60. Body composition score showed heritabilities of moderate magnitude (h(2) =3D 0.23 to 0.39). Genetic correlations between BC and LWG = ranged between r(g) =3D -0.08 and 0.57. Even lower heritabilities were obtained for general type (h(2) =3D 0.09 to 0.33). Genetic correlations of GT and LWG we= re of moderate magnitude with r(g) =3D 0.33 to 0.59. except of Suffolk. High genetic correlations were estimated between GT and BC (r(g) =3D 0.61 to 0.93). For GTS, heritabilitie= s of muscle depth and fat depth were h(2) =3D 0.15 and 0.14, respectively. Corresponding estimates for Su= ffolk were h(2) =3D 0.20 and 0.21. respectively Genetic correlations between meas= ured MD and visually scored BC were r(g) =3D 0.43 and 0.64 for GTS and Suffolk, respectiv= ely. Based on the results, it was concluded that lower variation of age at end of test would result in more reliable breeding values for fattening, exterior = and carcass composition traits. Visually scored body composition should further= be used as indirect trait for carcass composition in the genetic evaluation Ultrasonic measurements gave mon information about carcass composition rela= tive to body composition score and should be included in the genetic evaluation, although their heritabilities were low. Therefore, improvement of the accur= acy of ultrasonic measurements is necessary to obtain more informative traits f= or carcass composition of live animals.

Ø      Oral stereotypes are a kind of the = forms of behavioural abnormalities and many husbandry factors can cause the developm= ent of such behaviours in almost all domestic species. In this study, effects of housing based on group condition and also sex differences on the developmen= t of oral stereotypes were investigated in fattening lambs. Ten male and ten fem= ale Turkgeldi synthetic breed of lambs were used. Animals were assigned to sex groups at the beginning of the study and housed in pens that consisted of m= etal feed through and water buckets on a straw bedded floor during the experimen= t. Behavioural observations were taken by two observer and time sampling techn= ique was used. Activities such as biting, licking and chewing of through, water bucket and also bars of pen were recorded as oral stereotypes, Generally, it was indicated that intensive group condition in fattening lambs causes the development of behavioural abnormalities related to nutritional origin. Activities towards the bedding material, standing, lying and wool chewing behaviours were significantly affected by sex. The male lambs showed more activities in standing and wool licking and wool chewing behaviours than the females while the lying and activity towards the bedding material observed = more frequently in the female group. This finding indicated that general activity was high in the male lambs. There was no significant sex effect on the total oral stereotypes. It was concluded that lack of structural materials have an important role in the development of oral stereotypes. Ln addition some stressful conditions that caused by group housing may also resulted in the development of such abnormalities especially for the male lambs.

&= Oslash;      Previous cytogenetic studies of the= genus Bromus L. were limited to chromosome counts and construction of karyotypes = on the basis of Feulgen staining. Since the chromosomes of Bromus are similar = in morphology, these karyotypes are of limited use for chromosome identificati= on and genome analysis. The objectives of this study were to develop and evalu= ate a Giemsa C-banding procedure to use in identification of individual bromegr= ass chromosomes and to develop a karyotype for diploid Bromus riparius Rehm. (2= n =3D 14; PI 440215). All chromosomes had one or more C-bands which were located mainly at telomeric regions. A group (I) of four pairs of chromosomes had telomeric bands on only one arm and could be differentiated. In this group,= one pair had an interstitial C-band along with a telomeric band, one pair had a nucleolus organizer region (NOR) at a subtelomeric location on the short ar= m, and the other two pair could be distinguished by centromere location. The o= ther group (II) of three pairs of chromosomes had telomeric bands on both arms. = The unequivocal identification of specific chromosomes of Group II was not poss= ible in all cells because of their similarity and differential condensation of chromosomes. Chromosomes of both groups were either metacentric or submetacentric. The total length of individual chromosomes ranged from 5.58= to 6.87 µm and the arm ratios ranged from 1.02 to 1.5. The homologous chromosomes were paired and assigned numbers I to VII in decreasing length.= A karyotype was constructed by means of the C-bands, mean chromosome lengths,= and arm ratios. The C-banding procedure used in this study could be used to developed karyotypes for the other species of the genus Bromus and these C-banded karyotypes could be used to compare genomes within the genus.=

Abstract

Ø      S= pecies of the genus Bromus represent ploidy states from diploid to decaploid. Ploidy determination of Bromus germplasm is necessary before it can be effectively used in breeding or genetic studies. The objective of this study was to characterize the ploidy of 322 accessions of four Bromus species [Bromus inermis Leyss, B. riparius Rehm, B. biebersteinii Roem and Schult., and B. inermis ssp. pumpellianus (Scribn) Wagnon] that are in the USDA National Pl= ant Germplasm System (NPGS). Flow cytometry was used to determine DNA content o= f 10 plants of each accession. Mean DNA contents were correlated to ploidy level with root tip chromosome counts on selected accessions whose DNA content indicated that they represented different ploidy levels. On the basis of DNA content (pg 2C-1 =3D DNA content of a diploid somatic nucleus) and chromoso= me counts, mean DNA content and chromosome number was 22.62 pg 2C-1 for octapl= oid B. biebersteinii (2n =3D 8x =3D 56), 26.07 pg 2C-1 for decaploid B. biebers= teinii (2n =3D 10x =3D 70), 11.74 pg 2C-1 for tetraploid B. inermis (2n =3D 4x =3D= 28), 22.28 pg 2C-1 for octaploid B. inermis (2n =3D 8x =3D 56), 22.72 pg 2C-1 for octa= ploid B. inermis ssp. pumpellianus (2n =3D 8x =3D 56), 26.5 pg 2C-1 for decaploid B.= inermis ssp. pumpellianus (2n =3D 10x =3D 70), 6.14 pg 2C-1 for diploid B. riparius= (2n =3D 2x =3D 14), 22.15 pg 2C-1 for octaploid B. riparius (2n =3D 8x =3D 56), and= 26.64 pg 2C-1 for decaploid B. riparius (2n =3D 10x =3D 70). Standard deviations of = the mean values were 0.88 pg 2C-1 or less. Most B. inermis and B. inermis ssp. pumpellianus accessions were octaploid (93.75%), while the majority of the = B. riparius and B. biebersteinii were decaploid (92.30%). The B. inermis and related species in the USDA NPGS were collected primarily from areas in the former USSR. The NPGS bromegrass germplasm could be enhanced by collections from western= and central Europe, the Middle East, and China.

Ø  &n= bsp;   The time for planting and seeding establishment is a crucial phase in t= he production cycle, especially for annual crops. Uniformity and percentage of emergence of direct-sown crops can have a great effect on the yield and quality, particularly for vegetables. Obtaining a desired plant stand depen= ds on a good germination and emergence. The seeds can germinate under favourab= le environmental conditions, except for internal factors which can effect seed germination. The main environmental conditions are suitable temperature, composition of the gases in the atmosphere, light for certain seeds, and wa= ter. At the beginning of germination, the intake of water by seeds is essential. During imbibition, the seed absorbs water until a particular equilibrium. T= he seed then remains at this water content while the metabolic processes requi= red are activated. The water content then increases again when the radicle begi= ns to grow. The imbibition rate is influence by the initial seed moisture leve= l. Meanwhile, the moisture content of a seed plays a major role in the agronom= ic life cycle (e.g. in germination and storage) and the water status of seeds = and soil directly affect germination and stand establishment. In this paper, the importance of water and seed moisture contents on seed germination is revie= wed.

Ø      In this research, effects of Fusarium head blight, which was prevalent primarily in the Marmara Region as well as some other regions of Turkey in 1997-98 harvest season, on the technological quality and baking properties of bread wheats were investigat= ed. Three different bread wheat samples including head blighted kernels at the different rates were used as research material. Each wheat sample has divid= ed into four groups as control (sound kernels), and head blighted kernels at t= he level of 5%, 10%, 20% levels respectively. According to the obtained result= s; head blight (including 20% level) did not affect moisture content and forei= gn matter of the wheat samples as well as moisture and protein contents of the= ir flours. Whereas test weight of wheat samples, and ash, wet gluten, gluten index, sedimentation and falling number values, and farinograph and extensograph curves of their flours as an indication of rheological propert= ies were affected negatively. Wheat samples including %10 and in particular 20%= of head blighted kernels showed a drastic decline in the technological quality compared with control samples. Changes in those technological properties we= re found significant as statistically (P<0.01). On the other hand, specific volume, crust colour, crumb structure and crumb texture showed a drastic decline in the bread samples those including 10% and 20% of head blighted kernels, however there was no significant changes between control and 5% of infected kernels. The degree of effect differed among the wheat samples.

Ø      The response of onion (Allium c= epa ) to different irrigation schedules was studied in Trakya, Turkey, during 1997 and 1998. Onion crop was subjected to four irrigation treatments according to available soil water depletion fractions (0.30, 0.50, 0.70, an= d no irrigation). Irrigation thresholds (amount of soil water at 0.40 m depth) were u= sed as criteria to initiate drip irrigations. For each differential water treatmen= t, the parameters of bulb morphology (diameter and height), solids soluble in bulbs, bulb weight, and total yield were analysed. Yield and yield componen= ts except solids soluble in bulbs were affected by irrigation and soil water depletion fractions. The highest yield was obtained from the plots to which irrigation water was applied at a soil water fraction level of 0.30. The maintenance of soil moisture depletion level at 0.30 required 339.4 mm (in 14 applications) and 2= 27.2 mm (in 13 applications) of irrigation water in 1997 and 1998, respectively. The seasonal evapotranspiration of onion was 420.0 mm in 1997 a= nd 351.2 mm in 1998. =

Ø  &n= bsp;   The hazelnut (Corylus avellana L.) agroecosystem includes several group= s of harmful and beneficial organisms. This paper lists the mite species that ha= ve been recorded on hazelnut in Turkey, based on the collections of the author= s as well as bibliographical sources, and gives the distribution and economic importance of each species. Forty-five mite species belonging to 20 families were found. The most common and important pest was Phytoptus avellanae Nal., present as both “gall” and “vagrant” forms. Cecidophyopsis vermiformis (Nal.) was also common in hazelnut orchards but = has less economic impact than P. avellanae. Tetranycopsis horridus (Can. & Fanz.) was also important, but only on a local scale. Minor pests, widespre= ad but not important, included Aculus comatus (Nal.), Tegonotus depressus Nal., Coptophylla lamimani (Keifer), Anthocoptes loricatus Nal., Eotetranychus co= ryli (Reck) and Tetranychus sp. The beneficial mite fauna was also rich, includi= ng 23 species of predatory mites, the most common of which was Kampimodromus aberrans (Oud.). Additionally, Czenspinskia transversostriata (Oud.) and Tarsonemus stammeri Schaarschmidt are reported for the first time in Turkey= .

Ø      In Turkey, despite the fact= that history of the pistachio nut has a great economic importance, especially in= the GAP region, and extends to a long way back; the amount of production has not been achieved at the expected rate. Average yield per pistachio tree is 2 kg and the average p= istachio production is 46 000 tonnes, currently. Because, in this region, the pistac= hio nut is grown under dry climate conditions and in barren soil. Additionally,= pistachio growers are not trained well enough about mechanization. This research was conducted to determine mechanization possibilities of pistachio and the post harvest handlings. It consisted of two parts, first the compilation of surv= ey results which were obtained from farmers dealing with pistachio and the sec= ond part includes the results of post harvest processing of pistachio. For this reason, pistachio nut growing practices, general farm, soil cultivation, pe= st controls (chemical control), fertilizer application, pruning, harvesting, drying, dehulling and storage have been examined.

Ø      Recently, considerable redu= ction in genetic advance in egg production led the researchers to revise the curr= ent breeding methods. Low genetic variance in the first two-third part of the e= gg production period emphasised the importance of last one-third part of egg production period. The genetic advance can be obtained by improving persist= ence in this period. Therefore, egg production test period should be increased. = In order to estimate egg production variance and covariance components with le= ss deviation, box-cox transformation is used as appropriate to restore normali= ty and to homogeneity. Thus a better genetic advance can be obtained from a selection considering breeding values estimated from data on which box-cox transformation carried out. In the review, it is suggested that inbreeding = for egg production in laying hens does not cause any problem in a short period.= In addition, genetic variance of egg production should be separated from non-additive genetic effects.

Ø      Türkiye has a great potential for animal production and the topographic and climatic conditions= are favorable for animal husbandry in general . Even though Türkiye is amo= ng the leading countries in the nımbers of some of the livestock , the an= imal productivity sometimes can be quite low due to the high numbers of low prod= ucing , umimproved native animals. Nevertheles, the adaption capacity of these indigenous animals , to the local conditions is hiher than cultural breeds. Native farm animal genetic resourches constıtute an important resource= in total number of farm animal population . Production systems in Türkiye vary from chances in international and national agricultural policies and in the milk and beef markets had greatest effect to the production systems and changing the content of population from native breeds to the exotic breeds.= The unsufficient productivity of native breeds resoned the declining trend of t= he native farm animals in total animal population . Breeds of low economic val= ues were investigated in the begining of the republican period and shoved that = the selection would be ineffective to obtain the production values same as exot= ic breeds. Cattle population of Türkiye is approximately 11 million heads= and sheep and goat populations of this country are 29 and 8 millions, respectively.Türkiye ranks among among the leading countries in the population of cattle sheep and goat . Native cattle breeds accounted for 75= % of the total cattle population in the country and are consisted of mainly Nati= ve Black , Anotolian Red , Native Grey, Southern Red and Yellow native breeds. However native sheep breeds of Türkiye comprise almost 94% of the total sheep population and the native breeds are primarily Kıvırcı= k, Sakız, Dağlıç White Karaman , Karayaka, Awassi, Red Karaman and Tuj. The most peculiar indigenous goat breed of Türkiye is basicaly Angora goat. Total Buffola population of Türkiye numbered aproximatelys 310,000 head . The majority of buffoloes were concentrated in middle Anotolia regions of Turkiye . Their number were highly decreas in Türkiye as a results of decreased demand for the out put of Buffolaes. Native sheep breeds ; Türkiye ranks after CIS, Australia, China, New Zealand with respect to the number of sheep raised in the country. The prim= ary products are milk and meat.Wool is of also prima importance regarding beddi= ng and carpet making . Most of the breeds belong to the fat tailed carpet-wool breeds. White Karaman in Central Anatolia, Red Karaman to the East and short fat tailed Dağlıç to the Wes= t. Along the border to = Syria the Awassi is spread out. Due to the climatic conditions in the main parts = of the country , sheep production is the major income for the poor farmers. The majority of the sheep population consist of. Native cattle breeds in Türkiye; in Türkiye the cattle population is about 11 million head according to 2000 statistics. The native cattle are predominantly of the Ea= st Anotolian red type in Eastern Anotolia, South Anotolian type in South East Anotolian and Relatively small numbers in Mediterranean area, Grey cattle b= reed in Western Anotolia and European part of Türkiye A small number of Zag= ot breed (another unimportant local native breed) are kept in some villages of= Eastern Anotolia.

&= Oslash;      In this study, a new modelling appr= oach for reconstruction of speech signal by the Signature base Sequences is presente= d. The speech signal is defined as a linear combination of Signature Base Sequances. Signature Base Sequences generated from one, two and three-sound syllables of the Turkish language. Similar syllables have been omitted by tolerance of 10% for effective coding and then the number of syylables has = been reduced by 30%. An attempt has been made to obtain speech signals by using = the sets of syllables thus obtained. It was found that the reduced number of syylable sets gave an error in the order of 0.0001 based on comparison of t= he speech signals. It was shown that this level of the error did not impair the comprehensibility of the speech signal. The aim of this study is to assign a reduced optimal minimum set of Signature Base Frequencies to Turkish sounds= .

Experiments were conducted during 1989-91 and 1994 under field conditions, = and in 1992 and 1993 under controlled conditions (laboratory and plastic tunnel= ). Maize cv. TTM-8119 was used as the material in all the years except in 1989 when FR-619 was used. In 1992 and 1993, the experiments were conducted in rolled towels and in chests filled with soil and barnyard manure. Some of t= he chests were inoculated with F. moniliforme suspensions. Seeds were sown on April and May under field conditions, and on March under controlled conditi= ons. The average soil temperatures in 1991 and 1994, and in the chest experiment were 15.5, 13.0 and 11°C, respectively. The variation in disease ratio between the control and treated plots was not significant under field conditions. The control efficacy in t= he rolled towel test was 45-100%; only benomyl and carbendazim were not effect= ive among the fungicides. In the chest experiment, all the fungicides were effective. Carbendazim resulted in 45-85 and 45-100% disease control in 1992 and 1993, respectively. Seed infection by F. moniliforme was not observed at low temperatures. Under field conditions, seeds germinated without being infected when sown early (April). The results suggested that thiram, captan, maneb and mancozeb may be used as seed treatment against seed rot in maize.=

Ø      In this research the inside environmental conditions and structural desing of = tie (stall) dairy cattle research barns depending on the Ministry of Agricultur= e in Trace district of Turkey has been examined and the project errors and possi= ble problems to be faced in the applications have been investigated. To find out the effects of environmental conditions for both research barns, the temperature, the relative humidity, the air velocity in the ventilation out= lets and the rate of ventilation has been measured. The results showed that the inside temperature and the relative humidity have been significantly affect= ed by the outside, temperature and relative humidity. In both research barns, = the natural ventilation systems installed were far from providing required heat= and humidity balance because of the mistakes in the planning of these systems. = In order to compansate these problems, outside and inside housing criteria has been criticized to create necessary heat and humidity balance. According to these criteria, the amount of insulation in the structural elements and air enterence and outlet 'openings for the ventilation have been quantified. In addition, a mechanical ventilation system has also been planned in the rese= arch barns.

&= Oslash;      Symptoms of grapevine viruses on th= e plants in the field were observed and the causal viruses of the symptoms were determined in this study. GLRaV-1, GLRaV-2, GLRaV-3, GLRaV-7, GVA, GFkV, Ar= MV and GFLV were detected by J3L1SA. Presence of GLRaVs infections on indexed plants were determined by indexing on Vitis vinifera cv. Cabernet sauvignon. Either ELISA or biological indexing could be used for detection of GLRaVs infections and high correlation between two methods were found. The most widespread virus was found in 30 tested plants as GLRaV-3 followed by GVA.<= o:p>

&= Oslash;      This study was conducted in the App= lication Farm of Tekirdag Agricultural Faculty in the years of 1997 and 1999, to determine the effects of different irrigation methods and regimes on yield components of apple trees. Irrigation water was applied with drip and surfa= ce (ponding) irrigation methods when 40 % and 70 % of available soil moisture = was consumed. As a result, it was found that applied irrigation water and measu= red seasonal evapotranspiration in drip irrigation plots were lower than those = of surf ace irrigation plots as 72.5 % and 62.7 %, respectively. Although yield and quality parameters in the different treatments were not found to be significant, drip irrigation method gave better results when this results, irrigation water requirements, and evapotranspiration were evaluated togeth= er. In conclusion, it can be suggested that, drip irrigation method has to be preferred for apple trees in Tekirdag conditions and irrigation water has t= o be applied when 40 % of available water holding capacity was consumed.

Ø      In this research, the possibilities of using the free water surface evaporation data were investigated to determine irrigation scheduling of ap= ple trees, onion, sunflower, watermelon and wheat in Thrace conditions. To do this= , the free water surface evaporation (Eo) values were compared with the measured evapotranspiration (ET). As a result, the ratio of ET/Eo could be used for estimation evapotranspiration and the correction factors for apple trees (u= nder the surface and drip irrigation), onion, sunflower, watermelon and wheat we= re found as to be 1.56, 0.63, 0.84, 1.37, 0.84 and 1.75 respectively. Moreover, the monthly ratios of ET/Eo have been determined to estimate amount of irrigation water needed. In addition, evaporation coefficient (kpc) curves = were prepared to use for different growing periods.
