CORRELATION AND PATH COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS OF YIELD COMPONENTS IN POTATO (Solanum tuberosum L.)

Ercan ÖZKAYNAK ,Bülent SAMANCI ,Metin Durmuş ÇETİN

Abstract

This study was conducted in the years of 2000 and 2001 to determine the correlation coefficients between tuber yield and yield components and to find out direct and indirect effects on yield in various potato cultivars (Ausonia, Binella, Concorde, Granola. Jaerla, Marabel, Marfona, Satina and Velox) at research fields of Akdeniz University in Antalya. Significant positive correlations were found between tuber yield and plant height, node number, leaf length, leaf width, leaflet length, leaflet width, tuber number and average tuber weight. Path coefficient analysis indicated that tuber number (0.7716 and at 85.25 %), followed by the average tuber weight (0.5133 and at 69.27%) were the most important components for tuber yield in potato.

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.
