Determination of plant-pan coefficients for field-grown eggplant (Solanum melongena L.) using class A pan evaporation values

The Effects of Irrigation Regimes on the Yield and Water Use of Eggplant (Solanum melongena L.)

“…When irrigation water was applied to eggplant at the 10 mm of pan evaporation, the highest evapotranspiration (800 mm) was observed in a study of (Chiaranda and Zerbi, 1986). Ertek et al (2006) also found that applied irrigation water amounts for each treatment ranged from 372 to 689 mm, while average evapotranspiration values changed between 420 and 689 mm. Irrigation water (1276 mm) was applied to full irrigation (100 % refill of A pan evaporation) treatment of drip-irrigated eggplant in Southeastern part of Turkey, and the seasonal water amount for eggplant changed between 905 and 1373 mm in the same study (Kırnak et al, 2002).…”

“…Although there have been many researches on the influences of regulated water limitation on yield and quality parameters, relatively few number of papers related eggplant irrigation under semi-arid conditions have mentioned the relationships among yield, vegetative growth, and physiological responses to different irrigation levels. However, some studies have been reported on eggplant irrigation in Turkey and other parts of the world (Behboudian, 1977;Graaf and Ende, 1981;Eliades, 1992;Chartzoulakis and Drosos, 1999;Ertek et al, 2002;Kırnak et al, 2002;Hamdy et al, 2002;Ertek et al, 2006;). These studies clearly exhibit that crop characteristics such as yield, fruit length, fruit weight and biomass production were highly connected with optimal amounts of irrigation water supply.…”

“…There could be found many studies that focused on irrigation methods using Class A evaporation pan. Some of the studies are as follows; tomato (Locascio and Smajstrla, 1996), eggplant (Ertek et al, 2006), lettuce , green bean (Büyükcangaz et al, 2008), cucumber (Ayas andDemirtaş, 2009), pepper (Demirtaş and, onion (Ayas and Demirtaş, 2009), potato (Ayas and Korukçu, 2010;Ayas, 2013) and broccoli (Ayas et al, 2011).…”

Desempenho do cultivo da berinjela em plantio direto submetida a diferentes lâminas de irrigação

“…Ertek et al (2006) obtiveram, aplicando diferentes níveis de irrigação na cultura da berinjela na região da Turquia, durante 153 dias, produtividade de 10,1; 13,0; 17,5; 21,1 e 13,5 Mg ha -1 aplicando uma lâmina de irrigação de 371,6; 367,1; 474,3; 581,5 e 688,7 mm, respectivamente; esses valores de produtividade foram estatisticamente diferentes a nível de 5% de probabilidade, pelo teste F.…”

Irrigação, balanço hídrico climatológico e uso eficiente da água na cultura de café

“…Além desses índices, os autores citam também um outro, que verifica a contribuição da quantidade de água aplicada pela irrigação na evapotranspiração da planta, ou índice de compensação da irrigação. Esterk et al (2006) utilizaram esses três índices em um experimento com diferentes lâminas de irrigação na cultura da berinjela, conduzida na Turquia. Eles verificaram que em todos os índices avaliados, o tratamento com a menor e a maior lâmina aplicada apresentou os menores valores, estando os mais altos para as lâminas situadas no meio do intervalo utilizado nas irrigações.…”
