BARLEY POWDERY MILDEW (Erysiphe graminis DC f. sp. hordei marchal ) IN THE AEGAN REGION
Ahmet ZEYBEK
Abstract
This research was carried out to measure the field reaction of Turkish and some foreign originated barley varieties of which resistance genes were previously tested. In this research, 21 two-rowed barley and 8 six rowed barley varieties were used as material. Based on recordings of the field reaction of several barley cultivares during the past three years, resistance was conferred by the combination of genes carried by some two-rowed varieties such as Alexis and Guannar. Among the six-rowed varieties , BDMA-13 (Kıra! 97), carrying genes Mlh and Mla8 was found to be moderately resistant in the last two years.

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.
