RESPONSE OF THREE OAT FORMS TO SPRINKLING IRRIGATION AND NITROGEN FERTILIZATION

Katarzyna PANASIEWICZ, Wiesław KOZIARA, Agnieszka FALIGOWSKA

Abstract

The aim of this study was to assess the effect of sprinkling irrigation and nitrogen fertilization on the leaf area index (LAI), chlorophyll content (SPAD), grain quality, as well as grain yield and yield components in three oat forms (tall husked, dwarf husked and hulles). Field trials were conducted in 2008 and 2009 on the fields of the Experimental and Teaching Station in Gorzyń (the branch in Złotniki), which belongs to the Poznań University of Life Sciences. Sprinkling irrigation increased the grain yield of oat by 1.45 t ha-1 , (51.8%). The highest grain yield was recorded for the tall husked form (STH 8007). Nitrogen fertilization significantly increased the oat grain yield as the increase in the rate of nitrogen application to 100 kg N ha-1 was observed. The greatest contents of protein and fat, as well as the highest SPAD value and chlorophyll content were found in the hulless oat form. The best quality sowing material was produced by the tall husked form. It was manifested with a higher germination energy and germination capacity as well as lower shares of healthy non-germinating and abnormally germinating kernels.

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.
