THE INFLUENCE OF CLIPPING APPLICATION ON YIELD AND SOME YIELD PARAMETERS OF AEGEAN TYPES TOBACCOS

Sidika EKREN , Emre ILKER

Abstract

The present study was carried out to determine the effects of clipping application on seedling and field performance of three tobacco varieties in 2014 and 2015. Akhisar-97, Izmir-Ozbas and Saribaglar-407 tobacco varieties were planted based on randomized complete block design with three replications. In the research, the effects of clipping application on lenght of the seedling, stem diameter, healthy seedlings per square, plant height, number of the leaves, leaf width, leaf lenght and cured leaf yield were evaluated. Average results of two years indicated that clipping application on lenght of seedling, stem diameter, plant height, leaf width, leaf lenght and cured leaf yield were higher than traditional method. Akhisar-97 had statistically high performance than the Izmir-Ozbas and Saribaglar-407 tobacco varieties. The highest lenght of the seedling was obtained in Akhisar-97 (21.0 cm) tobacco cultivar by using clipping application for both years. Cured leaf yield results indicated that Akhisar-97 tobacco variety was the highest yield as 1037 kg ha-1 at clipping application whereas the lowest yield was recorded as 717 kg ha-1 in traditional practice in the second year.

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

Erdal GONULAL, Suleyman SOYLU, Mehmet SAHIN

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.
