EFFECT OF SEEDING DATES ON DRY MATTER AND PROTEIN YIELD OF COMMON VETCH (Vicia sativa L.) IN MEDITERRANEAN RAINFED CONDITIONS

Sadık ÇAKMAKÇI', Bilal AYDINOĞLU', Esvet AÇIKGÖZ'

Abstract

The effects of seeding dates on forage, dry matter and crude protein yield were evaluated in common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) under fall and spring seeding conditions. Common vetch was seeded at 10-d intervals from October to December and March to May (9 dates in each period) on clay loam soil in Antalya. Seeding dates significantly affected forage, dry matter and crude protein yields both in fall and spring seeding conditions. Early and mid-November seedings resulted significantly in higher forage (17100-19120 kg ha''), dry matter (5264-6559 kg ha and crude protein (873-874 kg ha) yields than those of October and December. In spring, early seedings resulted in greater yield values than later seedings. The highest forage (8100 kg ha'). dry matter (2783 kg ha'') and crude protein yield (401 kg ha') were obtained in 10 March seeding. The experiments clearly showed that fall seedings provided higher yield values than spring seeding. Early and mid-November and early March seedings has proved the most favourable time for seeding dryland common vetch in the Antalya.

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.
