THE EFFECT OF MIXTURE RATES AND CUTTING STAGES ON SOME YIELD AND QUALITY CHARACTERS OF PEA (Pisum sativum L.)+OAT (Avena sativa L.) MIXTURE

Aysen UZUN , F. Ferda ASIK

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effects of seed rates in mixtures of pea+oat and cutting stages on the hay yield and its quality. The experiment was performed over two years (2003-2005) at Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Agricultural Research and Application Center, Bursa, using five different mixture rates of pea and oat crops (100% Pea+0% Oat, 75% Pea+25% Oat, 50% Pea+50% Oat, 25% Pea+75% Oat and 0% Pea+100% Oat) and three different cutting stages (the jointing stage of oat, the stage oat in scabbard and milk[1]dough stage of oat). According to the results, it may be suggested that the mixture of 25% pea+75% oat should be grown to obtain higher hay yield and the mixture of 50% pea+50% oat to obtain higher level of crude protein. In addition, the pea+oat mixture should be harvested at oat milk-dough stage.

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.
