Genotype X Environment Interaction and Stability Analysis of Pod Yield and Seed Weight in Virginia Type Groundnut

Halis ARIOĞLU, M. Emin ÇALIŞKAN, Nurhayat ÇULLUOĞLU, Sevgi ÇALIŞKAN

Abstract

Eight Virginia type groundnut (Arachis hypogeae L. subs. hypogaea var. hypogaea) genotypes (Com, NC-7, Adana, 75/1073, PI 269084, PI 315633, PI 355276 and PI 346385) were tested for pod yield and 100-seed weight over eight years period between 1991 and 1999 (except in 1997) in Adana in the East Mediterranean Region of Turkey. The genotypes differed in adaptability and stability in respect to both traits. The genotypes 75/1073, PI 355276, PI 315633 and PI 346385 considered as having high adaptability to all environments in respect to pod yield with regression coefficients close to 1.0 and yield values above general mean. The genotypes NC-7 and 75/1073 had 100-seed weight values above general mean regression coefficients of 0.964 and 1.023, respectively, indicating their best adaptations to all environments.

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.
