INVESTIGATION OF HEATING AND COOLING DEGREE-HOUR VALUES IN GREENHOUSES WITH DIFFERENT COLOR COVER MATERIALS: THE CASE OF LETTUCE PLANT

In this study, it is aimed to determine the effect of greenhouse cover material of different color on the number of heating (HDHN) and cooling degree hours (CDHN) and heating (HDH) and cooling degree hours (CDH) of the lettuce plant. For this purpose, the study was carried out in the CtrlG (Control transparent PE greenhouse), RedG (Red PE greenhouse) and BlueG (Blue PE greenhouse). The study was completed in 2018 at ISUBU research and application farm. The temperature values measured in the three greenhouses with the same dimensions were the material of the study. HDH, CDH, HDHNs, and CDHNs were calculated by examining the measured temperature values and suggested temperature values for the lettuce plant. By using these values, it was tried to determine suitable cover material during the growing period of the lettuce plant. It has been concluded that the use of colored covering material is more suitable in terms of energy needs in almost all growing periods of lettuce plants. By comparing the values calculated for RedG and BlueG based on CtrlG, the coefficients of variation were calculated to determine which data series or series were more similar to each other. According to the coefficients of variation, the ...

EFFECTS OF GREENHOUSE COVERİNG MATERİALS OF DİFFERENT COLORS ON PLANT DEVELOPMENT İN GREENHOUSE CULTİVATİON: RADİSH (RAPHANUS SATIVUS VAR L.) CASE

This thesis was carried out in four greenhouses with arc roofs with a base area of 6 m2 and a side height of 2 m in the experimental area of Isparta University of Applied Sciences, Agricultural Research and Application Center. For this purpose, greenhouse with LED lighting (LED), Red-colored (RG) greenhouse, Blue-colored greenhouse (BG) and greenhouses with transparent covering material (TrG) were used as materials. The study was conducted between February and May 2019. In this study, the effects of different color cover material on the development parameters of radish were determined by measuring the temperature, humidity and solar energy values of the greenhouse. In order to do these measurements, sensors are placed in the greenhouses. Solar energy measurements were taken between 10:00-16:00 hours considering sunshine time. Temperature and humidity measurements were recorded for 24 hours. When the values obtained from TrG, BG, RG and LED greenhouses were examined, it was determined that the highest temperature value of the radish plant in the LED greenhouse during the growing period. Average greenhouse indoor temperature values were found to be between 13oC and 16oC in LED greenhouse, between 6.5oC and 15oC in COG, between 6oC and 14oC in BG and between 6.5oC ...
