ADAPTATION OF KABULI CHICKPEAS (Cicer arietinum L.) TO THE LOW AND HIGH LANDS IN THE WEST-MEDITERRANEAN REGION OF TURKEY

Cengiz TOKER

Abstract

The experiments with eight kabuli chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) genotypes were conducted at two locations (Ürküttü town of Bucak city in Burdur province and Antalya) for two years (1995/96 and 1996/97) to determine stable genotypes. Analyses of variance were done to show the genotype by environment interactions and joint regression analyses were done to identify the performance of genotypes for seed and biological yields, harvest index. 100-sccd weight and days to flowering in the varying environments. Results indicated that some genotypes, FLIP 9I-I86C, FLIP 82-I50C and FLIP 91-48C, were high yiclders and resistant to changing environments, while FLIP 88-7OC. FLIP 89-67C, FLIP 91-203 and ILC 482 were sensitive front one environment to another. Therefore. FLIP 88-70C, FLIP 89-67C, FLIP 91-203 and ILC 482 were recommended for high-yielding environments, while FLIP 90-136C was adapted to low-yielding environments.

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.
