YIELDS AND QUALITY PERFORMANCES OF CORIANDER (Coriandrum sativum L.) GENOTYPES UNDER DIFFERENT ECOLOGICAL CONDITIONS

Duran KATAR, Nimet KARA2 , Nimet KATAR

Abstract

The experiments were conducted in two successive vegetation seasons of 2013 and 2014 at the Isparta and Eskişehir ecological conditions. The aim of this study was to determine the performance and stability of coriander genotypes for yield and yield components and essential oil content. In the study, Gamze, Kudret, Erbaa, Arslan and Pel-mus coriander cultivars and Burdur, Antalya and Tokat genotypes were evaluated growing seasons of 2013 and 2014 under the Isparta and Eskisehir ecological conditions in Turkey. Years and locations with different climatic and geographic characters had significant effects in coriander genotypes for yield, yield components and essential oil content. Increase in seed yield and decrease in essential oil content occurred with increasing rainfall. Results revealed that Arslan cultivar in Eskişehir location and Kudret in Isparta location had the highest seed yield. Besides Kudret cultivar and Gamze cultivar gave the highest seed yield as a means of locations; Eskisehir location had also higher seed yield.

Effects of Different Water Stress Levels on Biomass Yield and Agronomic Traits of Switchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.) Varieties under Semi-Arid Conditio

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.
