“…The plant performs less transpiration due to the decrease in soil water storage with deficit irrigation can be expressed as the reason for the decrease in the mineral content of curly lettuce in drought conditions. Similarly, Karipcin and Satir (2016) and Demir et al (2022) also stated that the mineral content of lettuce decreased under deficit irrigation conditions and that the highest mineral content was obtained from full irrigation conditions.…”

The crisis experienced from the water supply causes food production to be adversely affected in the agriculture sector, which is the biggest consumer of water. The deficit irrigation strategy ensures the continuity of food production as well as using water effectively. However, since the plant grown in this strategy is exposed to abiotic stress, it experiences significant yield and quality losses. For this reason, it is necessary to develop approaches to improve yield and quality losses of the plant grown with deficit irrigation. In this study, the physical and physiological properties and mineral content of curly lettuce (Lactuca sativa L. var. Crispa) grown by applying different rates of biochar to the soil (0%, 1%, 2%, 3%) with varying irrigation water levels (100%, 67%, 33%) researched. The study determined that decreasing irrigation water level decreased plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves, root wet and dry weights, plant weight, chlorophyll and leaf relative water contents, stomatal conductivity and N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Na, Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn contents of curly lettuce, while increasing the membrane damage index, but the physical and physiological properties and mineral content affecting the yield and quality of curly lettuce improved with increasing biochar rates. In the study, as a result of the emergence of the highest stress factor in irrigation at 33% level, it was observed that physical and physiological properties and mineral content of curly lettuce were affected at the highest level, and the dose of biochar, which managed the stress most effectively, was 3%. As a result, considering that biochar has an important potential to improve yield and quality losses of curly lettuce grown under deficit irrigation conditions, the use of biochar in the deficit irrigation regime were found to be recommendable.

Irrigation is one of the most important cultural practices in sustainable cabbage cultivation. While most studies on irrigation in cabbage have focused on conventional deficit irrigation (DI) practices, some plants’ water requirements under the partial root drying (PRD) technique are not yet very clear. In this study, the possible responses of cabbage, such as growth, some quality, yield, yield parameters, water use efficiency (WUE), irrigation water use efficiency (IWUE), and yield response factor (ky), were investigated at four irrigation water levels (125%, 100%, 75%, and 50%) with DI and PRD techniques for 2 years. Irrigation treatments were carried out by the drip irrigation method, and the amount of irrigation water for the control (I-100) was calculated using the measurements taken from the Class-A evaporation container. A total of eight irrigation treatments—four conventional deficit irrigation (I-125, I-100, I-75, I-50) and four partial root drying (PRD-125, PRD-100, PRD75, PRD-50)—were considered in the study. ET values were determined between 47.69–60.78 mm in the first year and 80.11–101.37 mm in the second year. Total and marketable yield values, WUE and IWUE values, were significantly affected by the irrigation treatments. As a result of the research, the highest total and marketable yields were found in I-125, PRD-125, I-100, and PRD-100 treatments. It was important that WUE and IWUE values reached their highest levels in full irrigation and 25% more irrigation treatments as well as in deficit irrigation treatments. In conditions where irrigation water is scarce and expensive, I-75 and PRD-75 applications are also recommended. While an increase in cabbage head height and diameter was observed with increasing irrigation water level, SSC and L values increased at deficit irrigations. According to the correlation coefficients, a positive relationship was determined between marketable yield and head and stem diameter, head height, WUE, and ET for marketable yield. In addition, it was predicted that I-50 and PRD-50 treatments may also be advantageous if the “kc” plant coefficient cover percentage was increased.
