There are very few studies on cabbage at different fertigation levels in the Marmara Region, where this study was conducted. In this respect, our study has a unique quality. This study was carried out in Bursa Uludag University Yenisehir İbrahim Orhan Vocational School application greenhouses in 2014-2015 years. Five different irrigation treatments (T1: 100% (full irrigation), T2: 75%, T3: 50%, T4: 25%, T5: 0% (non-irrigated)) and two different fertigation treatments; F1.0: 100% (100:100:100 NPK) fertigation and F0.5: 50% (50:50:50 NPK) fertigation were combined together to determine the effects on yield and quality parameters of potatoes. The amount of irrigation water in 2014 and 2015 years varied between 0.0-630.0 mm and 0.0-660 mm, respectively, while evapotranspiration values varied between 180.0-670 mm and 190.0-675 mm, respectively. It was determined that irrigation water and fertigation levels, yield and quality parameters of potatoes were affected significantly. In both application years, the highest yield was obtained from T1F1.0 treatment as 45.0 and 47.0 tons’ ha-1 respectively, while the lowest yield was obtained from T5F1.0 treatment as 4.0 and 5.0 tons ha-1, respectively. In 2014 and 2015 years the crop response factor (ky) values of potato were calculated as 1.11-1.11 and 1.21-1.14, respectively. When the full fertigation (F1.0: 100% -100:100:100 NPK) and the insufficient F0.5: 50% - (50:50:50 NPK) fertigation treatments are compared, significant differences have arisen in terms of yield and quality parameters. T2F1.0 and T2F0.5 treatments can be recommended as the most effective irrigation and fertilization levels of potato.

The amount of irrigation water in 2014 and 2015 years varied between 0.0-620.0 mm and 0.0-660 mm, respectively, while evapotranspiration values varied between 150.0-700 mm and 180.0-710 mm, respectively. It was determined that irrigation water and fertigation levels, yield and quality parameters of cabbages were affected significantly. In both application years, the highest yield was obtained from T1F1.0 treatment as 73.2 and 68.4 tons ha-1 respectively, while the lowest yield was obtained from T5F1.0 treatment as 3.0 and 3.0 tons ha-1, respectively. In 2014 and 2015 years the crop response factor values of cabbage were calculated as 1.20-1.19 and 1.23-1.18, respectively. T2F1.0 and T2F0.5 treatments can be recommended as the most effective irrigation and fertilization levels of cabbage.

Fertigation was found technically and economically feasible for tomato cultivation in winter as well as in summer. An experiment was conducted with summer tomato (BARI Hybrid Tomato–4) having 2 drip irrigation levels with different levels of NPK and micronutrient (B, Zn, and Mg) during kharif-1 seasons of 2007 and 2008. The fertilizer levels were N100 P55 K120 kg/ha, N100 P55 K120 B1 Zn4 Mg4 kg/ha, N100 P70 K140 kg/ha and N100 P70 K140 B2 Zn6 Mg8 kg/ha and the irrigation levels were drip irrigation at 2 days interval and drip irrigation at 3 days interval. The highest marketable yield of summer tomato (35.90 t/ha and 27.12 t/ha) were obtained from the fertigation treatment with fertilizer doses of N100 P55 K120 B1 Zn4 Mg4 kg/ha irrigated at 2 days interval in 2007 and 2008. The cull yield was also the lowest (2.53 t/ha and 1.15 t/ha) in this treatment in both the years. The lowest tomato yield (20.50 t/ha and 18.29 t/ha) were obtained from the treatment with fertilizer doses N100 P70 K140 kg/ha irrigated at 2 days interval where no micronutrients were used. Fruit quality parameters like TSS, Vitamin-C and ?-carotene were also the highest for the best yielder. So, use of micronutrients with NPK showed a significant effect on quality fruits as well as yield of summer tomato. The best yielder treatment received 261.0 mm of seasonal water including an effective rainfall of 60.5 mm during the crop seasons. The highest BCR (4.41) was also found in the same treatment.

The climate change and growing production of crops increase the demand for the water and the efficient use of water in agriculture becomes more critical. This experiment presents the results of research in the orchard with different irrigation programs and fertigation on yield and quality parameters of the ’Gala‘ and ’Fuji‘ apple tree. Three irrigation programs were applied IR + F – full irrigation with fertigation; IR – full irrigation without fertigation; NON‑IR – non‑irrigation, only natural precipitations. There were no differences observed among these three irrigation programs for tree diameter, sugar content, starch content and fruits firmness (P < 0.05). Significant deficit of water was in program IR and NON‑IR, at the length of annual growth, where the reduction was from from 680 mm to 440 mm at the ‘GALA’ variety. Statistically important differences between the irrigation variants were found out at the variety ‘Fuji’, in parametres yield, fruit weight and fruit diameter. Between programs IR + F and NON‑IR was the difference of fruit weight 25.6 g (14.3 %) and of fruit diameter 4.5 mm (5.8 %).

The present investigation “Studies on effects of graded levels of zinc and Trichoderma viride, Pseudomonas strita on yield and quality attributing characters in tomato (Lycopersicon esculentum L.)”. The experiment was laid out in Factorial RBD with two factor i.e. factor first is zinc solubilizers and factor second is levels of zinc, it has twelve treatments replicated three times. Trichoderma viride and Pseudomonas strita are used as source zinc solubilizers along with different levels of zinc. The experiment framed was intended to study the effect of zinc solubilizers and levels of zinc on yield and quality of tomato.The results revealed that effect of zinc solubilizers on yield and quality parameters of tomato indicated that the zinc solubilizer B2 (Trichoderma viride) recorded maximum fruit yield per plant (1458.76 gm), fruit yield per plot (20.42 kg), fruit yield per hectare (567.15 qt.), maximum titrable acidity (0.38 %), TSS (5.22%), ascorbic acid (22.81 mg/100gm), reducing sugars (1.61 %), non reducing sugars (2.70 %), totalsugars (4.31 %). The effect of different levels of zinc on yield and quality parameters of tomato indicated that the levels of zinc Zn3 (30 kg ZnSO4/ha) recorded maximum fruit yield per plant (1305.09 gm), fruit yield per plot (18.26 kg), fruit yield per hectare (507.43 qt.), maximum titrable acidity (0.36 %), TSS (4.77%), ascorbic acid (22.04 mg/100gm), reducing sugars (1.48 %), non reducing sugars (2.61 %), total sugars (4.09 %).The interaction effect of different zinc solubilizers and levels of zinc on yield and quality parameters of tomato indicated that the B2Zn3 (Trichoderma viride + 30 kg ZnSO4/ha) recorded maximum fruit yield per plant (1698.33 gm), fruit yield per plot (23.77 kg), fruit yield per hectare (660.27 qt.), maximum titrable acidity (0.43 %), TSS (5.39%),ascorbic acid (23.35 mg/100gm), reducing sugars (1.71 %), non reducing sugars (2.80 %), total sugars (4.51 %).

A pot experiment was conducted at Net House, Department of Agricultural Chemistry and Soil Science, Junagadh Agricultural University, Junagadh to assess four levels each of salinity (2, 4, 6 and 8 dS m-1) and sodicity (5.0, 10.0, 15.0 and 20.0 SAR) of irrigation water on groundnut by adopting factorial CRD with three replications. The results indicated that application of different levels of saline and sodic irrigation water produced significant effect on growth, yield attributes, yield and quality of groundnut crop. The maximum plant height, number of mature and immature pods plant-1, weight of mature and immature pods plant-1, days to 50 % flowering, pod and haulm yield and harvest index were observed with EC 2 dS m-1 and SAR 5.0 and the lowest with EC 8 dS m-1 and SAR 20.0 of irrigation water. The quality parameters like seed index and protein content were found maximum with the saline irrigation water level of EC-2 dS m-1 and SAR-5.0, but there was no any pod formation recorded with EC-8 dS m-1. The interaction effect between salinity and sodicity levels of irrigation water on pod (8.10 g pot-1), kernel (5.36 g pot-1) and biological (26.61 g pot-1) yield were found significantly the highest with C1×S1 (EC- 2.0 dS m-1×SAR- 5.0) while no any pod formation were observed with C4×S1, C4×S2, C4×S3 and C4×S4 level of irrigation water.
