THE EFFECTS OF INTRAPLOT COMPETITION ON YIELD- RELATED TRAITS IN WHEAT PLOTS

Tevrican DOKUYUCU, Aydın AKKAYA', Mevlüt AKÇURA

Abstract

This research was carried out in order to determine the effects of intraplot competition on yield-related traits in wheat plots, between 1998-2000 years, in Kahramanmaraş conditions. Data was collected in experiment-1 with 13 common wheat cultivars and in experiment-2 with 11 common wheat lines, which were designed in randomized complete block design with four replications. Ten plant samples were randomizedly selected from center rows and side rows of plots. Flag leaf width (FLW) and length (FLL), plant height (PH), head number m2 (HN/m2), head length (HL), grain weight (GW/H) and grain number (GN/H) per head were recorded. According to the results, intraplot competition between side and inside rows within same plot were important. It was concluded that plant samples to be used for the determination of yield components should be taken from inside rows and side rows should be removed before or during harvesting to prevent the overestimation of yield.

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.
