Performances of Some Rice Varieties Resistant to Rice Leaf Nematode (Aphelenchoides besseyi) under the Aegean Second Crop Condition

Mithat N. Gevrek, İbrahim Çınarlı, Naci Algan

Abstract

High and moderately resistant total 23 rice varieties to A. besseyi introduced from IRRI (International Rice Research Institute) by the Ege University Agricultural Faculty. They were tested under Aegean Second Crop Ecological Conditions in 1998- 2000. They were found to be suitable to the Aegean Ecological Conditions. Among them, Mars showed high yield (11g / per plant), earlier maturity (88.0 d), and shorter plant height (74.0 cm). Most of other varieties were categorized as genetic material for characteristics like tillering capacity (Awini and Kataktara), higher yield (Vegold, Century Patna and Ac-27), more 1000 grain weight (Ac-27 and Iac47).

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.
