DETERMINATION OF SEED YIELD AND SOME CHARACTERISTICS OF CERTAIN FENUGREEK (Trigonella foenicum graecum L.) LINES IN HATAY

Filiz AYANOĞLU, Ahmet MERT

Abstract

This study was carried out for two years during the 1996-1997 and 1997-1998 winter growing season aiming to determine seed yield potential and some characteristics of selected 35 fenugreek lines under Hatay ecological conditions. During the studies, the plant height (92.5-139.6 cm), the number of branches per plant (3.58-5.60), the number of pods per plant(22.00-44.92), the pod length (12.38-16.40 cm), the number of seed per plant (11.61-15.23), the thousand seed weight (12.23- 18.58 g), and the seed yield (132.3-220.1 kg/da) of fenugreek lines were investigated and the lines 34, 35, 32 and 20 were found to be the most suitable promising lines for Hatay ecological conditions.

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.
