CORRELATIONS AMONG STOLON LENGTH, STOLON NUMBER, PLANT HEIGHT AND TUBER YIELD IN POTATO

S'erkan Uran bey, Celâl Er, Dilek Boşalma

Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the correlations among morphologic trails (plant height, mean stolon length per plant, stolon number per plant) and tuber yield per plant in some potato varieties (Rosy, Jacrla, Tomensa), The results of the study indicated that there were significant negative correlations between plant height and stolon number (r = -0.721*) and between plant height and tuber yield (r = -0.787**). In contrast, there were no significant correlations between plant height and stolon length (r =0.633) and between stolon number and stolon length (r = - 0.508) and tuber yield (r = 0.528); between stolon length and tuber yield (r = -0.555)

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.
