MULTI-ENVIRONMENT TRIAL ANALYSIS BY PARAMETRIC AND NONPARAMETRIC STABILITY PARAMETERS FOR SEED YIELD IN WINTER RAPESEED (Brassica napus L.) GENOTYPES

Yasemin ERDOGDU , Enver ESENDAL

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the stability of 11 different rapeseed genotypes in terms of seed yield, throughout 3 years (2014-2015-2016), 3 locations (Tekirdag, Kırklareli, Edirne), in total 8 environment in Thrace Region. The experiment was designed as a randomized complete block design with four replications. The aim of this study was to determine rapeseed genotypes having a high adaptation for seed yield. Parametric and non-parametric RS and TOP) stability statistics were used to determine stability of the genotypes. The analysis of variance for seed yield showed that genotypes, environments and genotype by environment interaction all were significant (P˂0,01). According to parametric and non-parametric (except TOP methods) stability analysis, genotype Wosry 142 was determined as a well-adapted genotype; genotype Wosry 144 poorly adapted genotype in across environments. Genotype Wosry 142 may be recommended for cultivation in the different environments tested.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Wielkopolska region at the Gorzyń Research Station, Poland (52.34°N, 15.54°E) in Central Europe. The study was conducted over a 3-year period (2017, 2018, 2019) as a two-factorial design with four replications in the RCBD. The aim of the research was to determine the effect of the cultivar (‘Bolero’, ‘Tytan’) and the inoculation (Nitragina–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora I–seeds inoculation, Nitroflora II–soil inoculation, HiStick® Lupin–seeds inoculation) on plant development, seeds chemical composition and yielding of narrow-leaved lupin. The weather conditions and experimental factors significantly influenced on productivity of narrow-leaved lupin ‘Tytan’. Drought during the growing season reduced seeds and protein yields. After inoculation of HiStck the seeds yield was significantly greater by 12.4% (p < 0.01) and the protein yield after application of Nitroflora I or HiStick by 13.9% (p < 0.01) and 19.2% (p < 0.01), respectively. Correlation coefficients showed strong relations between number of pods and seeds per plant in both cultivars regardless of the inoculation variant, however the strongest relations in both cultivar were proved on HiStick treatment.
