YIELD AND FIBER QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF SOME COTTON (Gossypium hirsutum L.) CULTIVARS GROWN IN THE SOUTHEASTERN ANATOLIAN CONDITIONS

Ramazan ASLAN, Yusuf Ziya AYGUN, Mehmet MERT

Abstract

The aim of this study was to determine cotton cultivars for high yield and fiber technological characters in Southeastern Anatolian ecological conditions. For this purpose, the study was carried out with 11 cotton (Gossypium hirsutum L.) cultivars in 2019 and 2020. Field experiment was designed based on randomized complete block design with four replications. The results of combined analysis indicated that there were significant differences between cultivars in terms of yield and quality parameters except for the number of monopodia, fiber strength and fiber fineness. It was determined that cv. Edessa and cv. PG 2018 were superior to other cultivars for seed cotton yield, in respectively 4006.25 kg ha-1 , 3971.42 kg ha-1 . While these cultivars had higher fiber yield than all others, they were the least affected by the year difference. Cv. PG 2018 also had the highest plant height and ginning turnout. It was concluded that cv. Edessa and cv. PG 2018 are more suitable for cultivation in Batman ecological conditions.

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.
