Özet |
Bentonite is a form of clay consisting mostly montmorillonite. It is mainly used as drilling mud in geological studies. Hydration, swelling, water absorption, viscosity and thixotropic properties of bentonite make it a valuable material for a wide range of industrial uses and applications. Bentonite is used in foundry, cosmetic, medical, agriculture, food and construction industries. It is a natural, abundant, low cost and sterile material which can be used as a graft wax. Bentonite was experimented in top working of walnut trees to determine its disponibility and performance in grafting. Study was performed on 10-12 years old walnut trees in two orchards that are located at 750 and 1240 m altitudes. Experiment was designed with two replicates at two locations. Graftings were made using bentonite and water holder paint by bark modified grafting method at the beginning of May in 2015. Graft-take rates, length and thickness of shoots from grafted scions were measured, and total shoot lengths were calculated. During the growing season, disponibility of bentonite were evaluated by observations of top worked trees. The differences between graft-take rates and total shoot lengths were found statistically important according to wax type. Anti-bleeding effect of bentonite were observed that might overcome bleeding problem that is frequently seen in top working of walnut trees. |
