THE EFFECTS OF DIFFERENT SEED RATES OF SELECTED CORIANDER (Coriandrum sativum L.) LINES ON YIELD, YIELD COMPONENTS AND ESSENTIAL OIL RATE

Süleyman Kızıl

Abstract

This field study was conducted to determine the effects of different seed rates (20, 30, 40 and 50 kg ha1) on yield and yield components of five coriander lines (line 5, line 11, line 50, line 56 and line 61) at Diyarbakır ecological conditions in 1999-2000 and 2000-20001 growing seasons. In the research, plant height, number of branches per plant, number of umbrella per plant, number of seeds per umbrella, seed yield per plant, seed yield, thousand seed weight. essential oil rate and essential oil yield were investigated. In terms of seed rates, plant height ranged between 71.95-76.11 cm, number of fruitful branches per plant between 6.32-8.63, thousand seed weight between 12.89-13.23 g. seed yield between 1091.6-1762.3 kg ha' and essential oil rate between 0.310-0.333%. However, as far lines, plant height was found to range between 71.47-78.81 cm, number of fruitful branches per plant between 6.87-7.81, thousand seed weight between 12.54-13.60 g. seed yield between 1356.5-1582.5 kg ha' and essential oil rate between 0.299-0.343%. Seed rates of 20 and 30 kg ha produced higher seed and oil yield than 40 and 50 kg ha'. and among lines, the highest seed and oil yield were observed from line 11.

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.
