THE EFFECT OF DIFFERENT NITROGEN AND IRRIGATION LEVELS ON FATTY ACID COMPOSITION OF PEANUT OILS

Erkan BOYDAK , Davut KARAASLAN , Hüseyin TÜRKO LU

Abstract

This study was carried out to determine the effect of nitrogen doses and irrigation levels on fatty acid composition of peanut oils grown in Southeast Anatolia Region. Nitrogen and irrigation levels affected all parameters tested significantly (P<0.01) except for oleic acid which not affected by irrigation levels. There were no regular and certain differences between irrigation and nitrogen levels. So increasing irrigation and nitrogen levels did not increase or decrease in fatty acid content steadily. Palmitic acid varied from 9.86 to 10.31%, stearic acid varied from 4.55 to 5.06%, oleic acid varied from 52.00 to 53.31%, linoleic acid varied from 21.77 to 23.14%, linolenic acid varied from 0.046 to 0.054 %, arasidic acid varied from 1.75 to 2.23%, and behenic acid varied from 2.08 to 2.60 %, respectively. Some of the correlation coefficients among fatty acids were found significant and negative correlation was found between oleic and linoleic acid contents (P><0.01).

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.
