A NEW RECORD AND DISTRIBUTION OF THE ENDEMIC Thymus cilicicus Boiss. & Bal. FOR THE SQUARES B3 AND C3 IN TURKEY

Ayşe Betül AVCI

Abstract

This study was carried out in Isparta and Konya province between 2008 and 2009. The endemic plant Thymus cilicicus Boiss. & Bal. has been found for the first time for the Square B3 in Isparta besides new distribution of mentioned species has been recorded in C3 square. T. cilicicus was found one location for the square B3 in Şarkikaraağaç and six different locations for the square C3 in Atabey, Atabey pond, Gönen, Yenişarbademli, Eğirdir (Isparta province) and Selki (Konya province). The relation between population density of T. cilicicus and some anthropogenic affects in habitats where T. cilicicus exists are also discussed.

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.
