Description
Summary:In this study, the effects of some soil conditioners (zeolite, hydrogel, peat) on the yield, yield components, and water use efficiency (WUE) of soybean (Glycine max L.) were investigated in two different irrigation regimes. The study was handled in a polycarbonate-greenhouse located in Hatay Mustafa Kemal University, Türkiye, according to a completely randomized factorial design with three replications using the Agroyal variety of soybean as plant material. In a control group, three doses of hydrogel (40, 80, 120 kg ha −1 ), zeolite (500, 1000, 1500 kg ha −1 ), and peat (500, 1000, 1500 kg ha −1 ) were used as treatments under two irrigation regimes as I1 (irrigation made when the water fell up to %10 of the field capacity) and I2 (irrigation made when the water fell up to %50 of the field capacity). It was observed that some doses of the soil conditioners have a positive effect on the examined parameters. However, deficit irrigation decreased or inhibited the positive effect of soil conditioners. According to the results, zeolite application gave the most beneficial results under both two-irrigation management.
