SOME AGRONOMİC AND QUALITY CHARACTERISTICS OF NEW RICE VARIETIES IN THE AEGEAN REGION OF TURKEY

Mithat Nuri GEVREK

Abstract

In this study, agronomic and quality performances of new rice genotypes were investigated in 2003 and 2004. 12 rice genotypes were used as genetic material. The experiment was conducted in a Randomized Complete Blocks Design with 3 replications under continuous flood irrigation. Based on the means of two years, the highest yield (732 kg/da) and the highest spikelet number per plant (562 spikelet /per plant) were obtained from Osmancık-97. The highest productive tiller number per plant was obtained from Demir (9,6 tiller/ plant), the highest 1.000-grain weight was obtained from Baldo (38 g) followed by Kıral (36.5 g), Kargı (36.2 g) and Negiş (34.5 g) respectively. The shortest plant height was obtained from Toag92 (63 cm). The lowest of days to flowering time was obtained from Toag92 (63 days). The longest panicle was obtained from Troyhikary/Arborio//Nucleoryza and Toyhikary/Solnecnyi genotypes (16 cm) whereas the highest grain length was obtained from Baldo, Demir, Kargı and Gönen (6.9 mm). Also the highest grain width was obtained from Baldo, Negiş and Gönen (2.9 mm). The highest amylose content was obtained from Demir (22.2 %) and the highest crude protein content was obtained from Toag92 (12.4 %).

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.
