Evaluation of Selection Criteria in Large-Seeded lentil (lens culinaris medik.) Genotypes Using Phenotypic Correlations, Path and Factor Analyse
Hüseyin Çancı, Cengiz Toker
Abstract
Phenotypic correlations, path and factor analyses were used for determining yield criteria in macrosperma lentil (Lens culinaris Medik.) genotypes. The seed yield was highly associated with biological yield. Biological yield should firstly be used in selection to increase the seed yield because of the fact that biological yield was in the same factor with the seed yield and it had the highest direct effect on the seed yield.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

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.
