THE EFFECT OF RHIZOBIUM INOCULATION AND NITROGEN APPLICATION ON VARIOUS AGRONOMICAL AND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF PEANUT GROWN AS A MAIN CROP

Ferrin Ferda ASIK, H. Halis ARIOGLU

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the effect of nitrogen fertilizer and bacteria inoculation on some agronomic and quality characteristics of Halisbey peanut cultivar. This study was conducted at the Applying and Research Area of Field Crops Department, Faculty of Agricultural, Çukurova University in 2015 and 2016. The experimental design was a randomized block design. In this study, seven (0, 40, 80, 120, 160, 200 and 240 kg ha-1 ) different nitrogen doses and Rhizobium bacteria were used. As a result of study, the pod yield varied between 4702-6009 kg ha-1 . The highest pod yield was obtained from 200 kg ha-1 (6009 kg ha-1 ) nitrogen and 200 kg ha-1 nitrogen + bacteria (6001 kg ha-1 ) applied plots. The lowest pod yield (4702 kg ha-1 ) was obtained from control plots (without N and B). Pod number per plant, pod weight per plant, 100 pod weight, protein, oil ratio and pod yield per ha were affected by the160 and 200 kg ha-1 nitrogen applications. Also, the highest protein ratio was obtained from the 240 kg ha-1 nitrogen and bacteria inoculation.

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.
