EFFECTS OF GROWTH REGULATOR APPLICATIONS ON POD YIELD AND SOME AGRONOMIC CHARACTERS OF PEANUT IN MEDITERRANEAN REGION
Leyla GÜLLÜOĞLU
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the effects of Cytozyme Crop Extra, Pix and Atonic on the seed yield and yield components of main cropped peanut in a Mediterranean type of environment. Compared with the control, the three growth regulators significantly increased pod yield. Especially application of growth regulators at the peg formation and pod development were more effective on pod yield than single application. The highest pod yield increase (43.4%) was obtained from Cytozyme Crop Extra followed by Pix (31.9%) and Atonic (27.8%)

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.
