The Effect of Various Treatments on the Extract Viscosity of Different Triticale Varieties

A. M. TALUĞ, F. KIRKPINAR, H. BASMACIOĞLU, R. ERKEK

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of grinding, water soaking and autoclaving on the extract viscosity of triticale varieties. Grinding significantly affected the viscosity of water, acid and alkaline extracts of triticale varieties. The viscosity of finely ground triticale (0.5 mm cyclotec) was consistently higher than that of coarsely ground triticale samples (1.0 mm cyclotec). Water and autoclave treatments decreased the viscosity of triticale extracts; especially water treatment was effective. Over all the varieties, the correlation coefficients were 0.36** for viscosity of water vs acid extracts, 0.61** for viscosity of water vs alkaline extracts, 0.50** for viscosity of acid vs alkaline extracts.

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.
