Effect of the Saline Water on Annual Ryegrass (lolium multiflorum Lam.) Yield and Soil Salinity

Altıngül Özaslan Parlak, Mehmet Parlak, B.Hakan Hakyemez

Abstract

This study was conducted with the intent of determining the effect of different salt types and concentrations on ryegrass yield and quality using 35x 65 cm PVC pipes in greenhouse conditions. Five different treatments of NaCl and KCI (0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 % and control) were established in a 2 x 5 factorial design with 3 replicates. Increasing salt concentration decreased plant height, main stem thickness, green and dry matter yield, crude protein yield and total ash yield. Plant growth showed slow increase when the plants were irrigated with 1.0 and 2.0 % salt concentration. KCl, comparing to NaCl, caused more damage on plants. Moreover, soil salinity also increased with the increase of salt concentration in irrigation water.

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.
