GENOTYPE–ENVIRONMENT INTERACTIONS AND STABILITY ANALYSIS FOR DRY-MATTER YIELD AND SEED YIELD IN HUNGARIAN VETCH (Vicia pannonica CRANTZ.)

Mehmet Salih SAYAR, Adem Emin ANLARSAL, Mehmet BASBAG

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine genotype–environment interactions and the stability status of twelve Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) genotypes in terms of dry-matter yield and seed yield under the ecological conditions of the Southeastern Anatolia Region of Turkey. The experiments were performed in five locations in the region during the 2008-2009 and 2009-2010 growing seasons. The experiments were performed according to a complete randomized block design with three replications. Genotype–environment interactions were found to be highly significant (P < 0.01) for dry-matter yield and seed yield, indicating that the Hungarian vetch genotypes’ dry-matter yield and seed yield were significantly affected by the year and condition of the location. The stability of the genotypes was estimated using the mean yield of genotypes (xi), regression coefficient (bi), regression deviation mean square (S2di), determination coefficient (R2), and regression line intercept (a). Stability analysis indicated that although the most stable genotype was the Ege Beyazi-79 cultivar in terms of dry-matter yield, the Oguz-2002 cultivar was the most stable in terms of seed yield.

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.
