Hakan Kadioglu 2019

Hakan Kadioglu grew up in a farmland in the Mediterranean Region in Turkey and spent most of my time in our greenhouses and farmlands with my father, who is a professor in Agricultural & Biosystem Engineering Department at Gaziosmanpasa University, Turkey. I obtained my undergraduate degree on Agricultural Engineering Farm Structures and Irrigation Program in Ankara University in 2013. During my education, I actively participated in several projects related to soil and water management. After I graduated, I worked as an agriculture engineer in a private company for a while. This experience was highly beneficial for me since I visited a different kind of farmlands all around Turkey and used many agricultural devices to solve farmers’ problems related to soil and water management issues. Currently, I am a M.S. student in the Natural Resources Management Program at North Dakota State University (NDSU) and I have been doing research on soil-water management topic.hakan.kadioglu@ndsu.edu

Effect of Different Water Table Levels on Canola Growth and Quality Parameters

Responses of canola plant water uptake and crop growth to four constant water table depths (30, 50, 70, and 90 cm) will be studied under a controlled environment using lysimeters with/without irrigation conditions. Additionally, salinity impact on canola plant in different water table depths will be studied. A randomized complete block experimental design will be used with six replications in each treatment. The expected results will provide information on how many percents of water-need of canola will be supplied from water table depths of 30, 50, 70 and 90 cm. Similarly, how different salinity concentrations will be affected canola plant at the same water table depths of 30, 50, 70 and 90 cm. Thus, the water use efficiency, total grain yield (g lysimeter-1) per unit water use will be determined with/without irrigation conditions. Canola plant’s tolerance level to shallow groundwater conditions and its root development in different water table depths will be investigated.
