DETERMINATION OF SUITABLE CORIANDER (Coriandrum sativum L.) CULTIVARS FOR EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN REGION

Memet Inan, Saliha Kirici, E. Sultan Giray, Murat Turk, Hassan Taghikhani

Abstract

Coriander, Coriandrum sativum L., is a major medicinal and aromatic plant having aromatic carminative, stomachic, and antispasmodic properties. There are six improved cultivars in Turkey. In the research, it was aimed to adaptability trial of the new cultivars for Eastern Mediterranean. Therefore, field experiments were carried out during 2008- 2009 and 2009- 2010 growing seasons. Plant and agronomic properties were evaluated with oil content and composition. Oil compositions were analyzed with GCMS. As a result of the research, all investigated characters were varied significantly, except linalool which is major component in coriander fruit oil. With respect to fruit yield and essential oil content, the best results were obtained from Arslan and Erbaa cultivars, respectively. Linalool contents varied between 84.60 and 90.10 %; and maximum data of the component were obtained from Gurbuz with 90%.

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.
