Res. Asst. PhD Mehmet Sait Kiremit

My name is Mehmet Sait Kiremit. I have been working as a Dr. Research Assistant at Ondokuz Mayıs University, Faculty of Agriculture, Department of Agricultural Structures and Irrigation since December 2013. I completed my Ph.D. in February 2023 and currently work as a Ph.D. in the same department. My Ph.D. thesis focused on studying the effects of different groundwater depths and salinity on evapotranspiration, yield, quality, and antioxidant enzymes of wheat. I have conducted 23 experiments and have 14 articles published in SCI-Expanded journals, 8 articles published in international journals, and 6 papers presented at international conferences. My research have been focused on the following areas;

·       Impacts of irrigation water salinity on soil quality and crops.

·       Crop water productivity (water use efficiency)

·       Evapotranspiration (Water balance, weighing lysimeters, pot and column experiment)

·       Fundamentals of variable rate irrigation and fertigation

·       Impacts of shallow groundwater depth and salinity on soil quality

·       Impacts of the groundwater contribution to crop water use.

·       Measurement and modeling of soil moisture dynamics

·       Impacts of plant growth regulators on seed germination, yield, and morpho-physiological of the crops.

·       Mathematical modeling and optimization (response surface methodology)
