enotype X Environment Interaction and Stability Analysis of Seed-Cotton Yield in Upland Cotton (Gossypium hirsitum L.)

Mehmet MERT, Mehmet Emin ÇALIŞKAN, Erol GÜNEL

Abstract

Stable performances in crop yield over a wide range of growing conditions are desirable from a standpoint of management and marketing. Fourteen cotton genotypes were tested for seed cotton yield at eight sites differing in rainfall and in temperature, over a period of two growing seasons of 1997 and 1998, to classify them for yield stability and to determine their genotype x environment interactions. In the study; the estimates of variance components for seed cotton yield combined over two years and eight locations were highly significant. Deltapine 5690, Sure Grow 404 and Deltapine 5409 had regression coefficients of 1.073, 1.084, 1.008, respectively, indicating their best adaptations to all environments tested.

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.
