THE EFFECTS OF PIX APPLIED AT DIFFERENT GROWING STAGES ON SOME AGRONOMICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF PEANUT

Halis ARIOGLU, Cemal KURT, Halil BAKAL, Bihter ONAT, Leyla GULLUOGLU, N. Sezer SINAN

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the effects of pix on the seed yield and some agronomic characters of peanut cultivar Halisbey in 2011 and 2012. The trial was arranged in the Randomized Complete Blocks Design with three replications. The pix applications at different growing stages significantly increased pod yield. The pod yield was 5808 kg ha-1 in the pix applied plot while 4930 kg ha-1 in the control plot. The highest pod yield increases (17.8% and 15.7%) were obtained from pix applied plots at four (beginning of the flowering + peg formation + pod formation + seed formation) and three (beginning of flowering + peg formation + pod formation) different growing stages respectively.

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.
