Abstract

Mung bean [Vigna radiata (L.) Wilczek] is one of the most important edible grain legumes in the genus Vigna Savi. The aim of the study was to select for the most suitable mung bean genotypes in the lowlands of the west Mediterranean region of Turkey and also, to evaluate them for agronomic, morphologic and phenologic characters. A total of nineteen genotypes (seventeen from Nuclear Institute for Agriculture and Biology, one check from market of Faisalabad, Pakistan, and one check from Gazipaşa, Antalya, Turkey) were used. According to two years results, it was concluded that ML-267, ML-613, BASANTI, NIMB- 101, NM-51 and NC-95 could be released for agricultural production. ML-613, PUSA 9072 and BARI Mung-2 for high biological yield; KPS-1, VC 6173 B-6 and CN-95 for large-seeded; Faisalabad, VC 6372 (45-8-1), NM-54, NM-92 for earliness; BARI Mung-2, Gazipaşa, KPS-2 and PUSA-9072 for taller plant height; BARI Mung-2, Gazipaşa, and ML-613 for increasing photosynthetic capacity: CD-3, BASANTI, Faisalabad, NM-54 for more flower number per plant; VC 6173 B-6, KPS-1 and NIMB-101 for pod length; CD-3, NM-51, ML-267 and Faisalabad for more seed per pod; and ML-613, VC 6372 (45-8-1) and CD-3 with more pod per plat were selected. The results indicated that there was abundant variability especially in agronomic characters. Accordingly, adapted mung bean genotypes could successfully be selected for the region.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

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.
