Abstract

With the growing world population, ensuring food security along with food accessibility has become a problem in itself. Lentils, one of the high-energy legumes rich in thiamine, iron, phosphorus, copper, and Vitamin C, with a content of 75% carbohydrates, 21% protein, and 4% fat, are affected by some fungal disease agents that limit production and yield. In order to detect this fungal flora observed in post-harvest storage conditions, a total of 11 different lentil seed samples were examined, consisting of 5 samples from 2022 and 6 samples from 2024, stored in open piles in the districts of Merkez, Besni, and Kâhta in the province of Adıyaman. Fungal isolates were obtained from these seeds using the Blotter and PDA methods, and they were identified using morphological and microscopic techniques. At the end of the study, fungal flora content determined using the Blotter method showed that 14% of the contaminated seeds contained Aspergillus spp. (37%), Penicillium spp. (33%), Rhizopus stolonifer (21%), and Fusarium spp. (9%) were detected in the fungal flora isolated using the Blotter method, while Aspergillus spp. (42%), Penicillium spp. (29%), R. stolonifer (22%), and Fusarium spp. (7%) were detected in the isolates obtained from seeds with 11% contamination using the PDA method. These results obtained from Adıyaman province are indicative for additional studies to be conducted for the control of lentil microflora.

Özet

Artan dünya nüfusu ile gıdaya erişilebilirlik ile birlikte gıda güvenliğini sağlayabilmek başlı başına sorun haline gelmiştir. % 75 karbonhidrat, % 21 protein ve % 4 yağ içeriği ile yüksek enerjili thiamin, demir, fosfor, bakır ve Vitamin C bakımından zengin yemeklik baklagillerden biri olan mercimek yetiştiriciliğinde üretim ve verimi sınırlayan bazı fungal hastalık etmenleri bulunmaktadır. Hasat sonrası depolama koşullarında görülen bu fungal floranın tespit edilebilmesi amacıyla Adıyaman ili Merkez, Besni ve Kâhta ilçelerinde açık yığın şeklinde depolanan mercimeklerden 2022 yılı 5 ve 2024 yılı 6 adet olmak üzere toplamda 11 farklı mercimek tohum örnekleri incelenmiştir. Bu tohumlardan Blotter ve PDA yöntemi kullanılarak fungal izolasyonlar ile birlikte morfolojik ve mikroskobik tekniklerle tanımlamalar yapılmıştır. Çalışma sonunda Blotter ile yapılan fungal flora içeriğinde %14’ü bulaşık olan tohumlardan Aspergillus spp. (%37), Penicillium spp. (%33), Rhizopus stolonifer (%21), Fusarium spp. (%9) tespit edilirken, PDA yöntemi ile %11’i bulaşık olan tohumlardan yapılan izolasyonlarda ise Aspergillus spp. (%42), Penicillium spp. (%29), R. stolonifer (%22), Fusarium spp. (%7) tespit edilmiştir. Adıyaman ilinden elde edilen bu sonuçlar mercimek mikroflorasının kontrolü için yapılacak ilave çalışmalar için yol gösterici niteliktedir.
