An Investigation on the Colours Obtained from Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) and Their Colour Fastnesses in Woolen Carpet Yarns

Nuran KAYABAŞI, Süleyman KIZIL, Özlem TONÇER

Abstract

In this study, dyeing methods with and without mordant were used for the dyeing of woollen yarn with roselle's (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) calyx and petals, As mordants; alum of aluminium, alum of chrome, copper-sulphate, iron-sulphate, potassium-bichromate, potassium-hydroxide, 9sodium-chloride, sodium-hydroxide, sodium-sulphate, sodium- sulphite, tannin, tiny-chloride, and zinc-chloride were used. A total of 28 dyeing treatments were performed, and very different colours and their tons were obtained. As a result. a variety of colours and their tons can be obtained from roselle's calyx and petals and the plant can provide a wide colour catalogue, indicating that it could be used in vegetal dyeings.

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.
