The Effects of Timing of Nitrogen Fertilization and Herbicide Application on Protein and Gluten of Bread Wheat under Samsun Ecological Conditions

Şahin Dere, Coşkun Köycü

Abstract

This research was carried out under Samsun ecological conditions during the 1993-1994 growing season to determine the effects on quality traits of nitrogen and herbicide applications at different periods of plant development on quality traits in bread wheat. Based on the results, it could be concluded that there are statistical differences among the nitrogen and herbicide treatments in different time in terms of protein and wet gluten content in both cultivars that is Cumhuriyet-75 and Bezostaja-I. However, relatively protein and gluten increases were observed by applying the nitrogen in three different times. There were no statistical differences as to protein between varieties and the applications of herbicide in post and pre-emergences in terms of the gluten content. However, these traits have given statistically different results by applying nitrogen in two or there part at different development stages of wheat.

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.
