Abstract

This research was carried out to determine the variation in spikelet groups, genotypes and environments for macronutrient (Ca, Mg and K) and micronutrient (Na, Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn) concentrations of oat (Avena sativa L.) groat. The panicles of 16 Turkish oat (Avena sativa L.) genotypes were obtained from three locations; Kahramanmaras, Konya and Cumra in Turkey in 2002-2003 cropping year. The panicles of each variety were divided into three spikelet groups as basal spikelet (BS), central spikelet (CS) and apical spikelet (AS). The oat groats belonging to spikelet groups were pooled to determine macronutrient and micronutrient concentrations. The results indicate that grain number (GNP) and grain weight per panicle (GWP) were significant for locations (L), genotypes (G) and spikelet groups (SG). Genotypes were significantly different for Ca, Mg and K concentrations. Locations had significant effect on Ca and Mg concentrations while there were not any significantly differences for spikelet groups. Locations had significantly effect on micronutrient concentrations (Na, Cu, Mn and Zn) except Fe concentration of oat groats. Genotypes were significantly different for all micronutrient concentrations, while spikelet groups were significant for only Zn concentrations. Location x genotype (L x G) interaction was significant for all micronutrient concentrations, while L x G interaction was significant for Ca and Mg concentrations in macronutrients.

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.
