PERFORMANCE OF SOME GROUNDNUT VARIETIES AT THE SOUTH- EAST ANATOLIA REGION

Tahsin SÖĞÜT', Halis ARIOĞLU, Süleyman KIZIL'

Abstract

Nine groundnut varieties were evaluated for yield and some yield components, as well as their relationships between them at the Experimental Area of Agriculture Faculty. Dicle University, during 1999 and 2000. The variation for all characters examined was not found to be significant. However, avarage pod yield varied between 3.04 and 2.57 t ha1, and the oil content ranged from 47.43% and 48.39% in 1999 and 2000, respectively. In this study, by using the data from all nine genotypes within each year calculation of correlation coefficient (r ) resulted in high positive correlations between pod yield and pod number, pod weight, 100 kernel weight and oil content. Thus, while selection is made to enhance the productivity level in terms of higher pod yield, greater emphasis may be placed on the number of pod, pod weight and 100 kernel weight.

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.
