Özet:

 Cyperus rotundus L. Purple nutsedge belongs to the genus Cyperus from the Cyperaceae family, and circa 950 species and subspecies of this genus have been described in the world. Within the scope of current studies, it has been understood that purple nutsedge tubers, which need to be combated agriculturally, have many positive aspects on human health. Cyperus rotundus L. is vital in Turkish folk medicine when we examine the subject from an ethnobotanical perspective. It has been determined that tubers are used in folk medicine, especially in the southeastern provinces, for purposes such as stomach and intestinal problems and lowering blood sugar. In this study, we examined all the advantages and disadvantages of the purple nutsedge plant, purple nutsedge plant, and tuber samples collected from different locations of the three provinces in question in a total of 8 districts as a result of field studies carried out in Siirt, Batman, and Şırnak, were examined in terms of external morphology and content. In this context, samples were collected from agricultural areas, swamps, and river banks. The elemental differences in the samples obtained from different geographical regions were revealed with ICP-OES Element Analysis in the laboratory of Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University Scientific and Technological Research Application and Research Center NABİLTEM laboratory, and pH measurements were also made. In addition to the botanical characteristics of the plant, its geographical distribution and development areas were examined. In this context, the distribution area stated in TÜBİVES Turkish Plants Data Service was updated with the findings in Eastern and Southeastern Anatolia. Accordingly, they were digitized with ArcGIS 10.8 and their current locations were mapped. Another focus of the study was to examine the plant in terms of its ethnobotanical properties. The use of the plant in folk medicine as well as its status in the local economy was revealed.

 Topalak Cyperus rotundus L., hasırotugillerden Cyperus cinsine mensup olup günümüzde dünya genelinde 950 civarında tür ve alt tür tanımlanmıştır. Güncel çalışmalar kapsamında ise zirai açıdan mücadele edilmesi gereken topalak yumrularının insan sağlığı üzerinde pek çok olumlu yönleri olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Konuyu etnobotanik açıdan incelediğimizde topalak, Türkiye halk hekimliğinde de önemli bir yere sahiptir. Özellikle güneydoğudaki illerde yumruların halk hekimliğinde, ekseriyetle mide ve bağırsak sorunları, şekeri düşürme gibi amaçlarla kullanıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Cyperus rotundus L. bitkisinin tüm bu avantaj ve dezavantajlarını incelediğimiz bu çalışmada Siirt, Batman ve Şırnakta yapılan saha çalışmaları neticesinde bahis konusu üç ilin farklı lokasyonlarından Toplam 8 ilçede toplanan Cyperus rotundus L. bitkisi ve yumru örnekleri dış morfolojik ve içerik açısından incelenmiştir. Bu kapsamda tarım alanları, bataklıklar ve akarsu kenarlarından örnekler toplanmıştır. Elde edilen örnekler Tekirdağ Namık Kemal Üniversitesi Bilimsel ve Teknolojik Araştırmalar Uygulama ve Araştırma Merkezi NABİLTEM laboratuvarında ICP-OES Element Analizi ile element içerikleri ortaya konmuş ve bunun yanı sıra pH ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Bitkinin botanik özelliklerinin yanı sıra coğrafi dağılımı ve gelişim sahaları da incelenmiş ve bu kapsamda TÜBİVESte belirtilen yayılış sahası Doğu ve Güneydoğu Anadoludaki tespitlerle güncellenmiştir. Buna göre de ArcGIS 10.8 ile sayısallaştırılarak güncel lokasyonları haritalandırılmıştır. Çalışmanın bir diğer odak noktası olan bitkinin etnobotanik özellikleri açısından incelenmesi olmuştur. Bitkinin halk hekimliğinde kullanım biçimi yanı sıra yöre ekonomisindeki durumu ortaya konmuştur.
