Investigation of the usage of geothermal and mineral water in cultivation of wheat and barley

In this study, the effects of geothermal water and mineral waters on plants were investigated. In the study, geothermal water, mineral water, water supply and 2 wheat and 1 barley variety were used. In the study, 6 different groups were formed by mixing mains, geothermal water, mineral water, and half of these waters. For the study, field soil mixed with 750 g of animal manure was prepared in the growing containers, 6 g of wheat varieties and 5 g of barley varieties were planted. Germinated wheat and barley were irrigated periodically according to their water needs. Barley and wheat were harvested at the end of 15 days. Chlorophyll size, electrolyte leakage, weight and mineral element levels were determined in the harvested plants. Mineral element concentrations of the samples in plant and soil were analyzed in ICP-OES. The data obtained were evaluated in SPSS 22 Statistical Package Program.
