Yield and yield components (dry matter, crude protein, ADF, NDF, RFV content and ME value) of our varieties (Kayseri, Elci, Bilensoy, WL 414 (MA 414) and a native cultivar of alfalfa was investigated under two different environmental conditions during 20122013 and 2013-2014seasons that were combined in a GGE-Biplot analysis. The locations were the provinces of Igdir and Kars. The experiments were arranged in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with four replicates in each experiment. In the study, herbage yield, dry matter yield, crude protein content, ADF, NDF, RFV and ME values were analyzed. Within the environment, the main effect of a genotype was significant. The combined analysis of variance for plant height, herbage yield and dry matter data indicated that the differences among all sources of variation were highly signifi...

The experiment was designed as randomized complete block with three replicates for three years. The mowing, fertilization, applications of 2.4-D, Picloram+2.4-D, Paraquat and Glyphosate were studied as weed control methods. The highest dry matter yield was obtained from the Picloram+2.4-D treatments. Dry matter yields in all treatments were greater as compared to the control. Grass contribution to the hay yield in the Picloram+2.4-D application was statistically significant (P<0.01) higher than the other treatments. Paraquat and glyphosate decreased the crude protein yield, while glyphosate increased higher crude protein and relative feed value contents compared with the other treatments

In hilly areas, micronutrients losses are high owing to leaching and runoff which negatively effects crops yield. A field trial was executed to evaluate the impact of foliage applied micronutrients (zinc 0.5%, boron 0.7% and manganese 0.7%) solely and in co-application, on agro-morphological traits and achene yield of sunflower. The relationship among yield attributes and achene yield of sunflower was also determined through correlation analysis. Solo applied boron (0.7%) remained unmatched by recording the maximum yield attributes such as plant height, stem girth, number of leaves, head diameter and weight, number of achene per head and 100-achene weight which led to the highest achene yield (0.96 t ha-1). The co-application of zinc and boron followed solely applied boron, while manganese applied solely or in conjunction with zinc and boron remained inferior to rest of the micronutrients. The correlation analysis revealed direct interrelationships among yield attributes (plant height, stem girth, head diameter and weight) and achene yield of sunflower and thus indicating the need to exogenously supply micronutrients especially boron for improving the agro-botanical traits and economic yield of sunflower under temperate conditions of rainfed regions. However, there is a dire need to conduct further studies to comparatively evaluate and optimize the doses of micronutrients including silicon and copper which may impart drought tolerance to rainfed sunflower under varying pedo-climatic conditions.

The research was conducted in the trial area of the Bilecik Seyh Edebali University Faculty of Agriculture and Natural Sciences in Bilecik, Turkey, in the 2015 crop year.

Objective: Because growing evidence favors a role of lean tissue in HDL homeostasis, the hypothesis was tested that non-adipose tissue components of body mass explain the inverse association of HDL cholesterol and BMI. Design: Fasting serum lipid concentrations and body composition [total, subcutaneous, and visceral adipose tissue; adipose tissue-free mass (ATFM); and skeletal muscle by whole-body magnetic resonance imaging and body cell mass by 40 K counting) were evaluated in healthy adults. Body-composition compartments were expressed as height 2-normalized indexes. Results: An inverse correlation was observed between serum HDL cholesterol and BMI in women (n = 68; R 2 = 0.08, P = 0.023) and men (n = 61; R 2 = 0.07, P = 0.046). Significant inverse correlations (P = 0.005-0.02) were also observed between HDL cholesterol and nonadipose components (ie, ATFM, skeletal muscle, and body cell mass) but not between HDL cholesterol and any adipose tissue component. The association between HDL cholesterol and ATFM remained significant after serum triacylglycerol was controlled for. When BMI was entered into the HDL cholesterol-ATFM regression model, BMI was not a significant independent variable. The strongest correlate of serum triacylglycerol was visceral adipose tissue (P = 0.002 for both women and men). Conclusions: Lean tissues and body cell mass appear to account in part for the long-observed inverse association of HDL cholesterol and BMI. These observations suggest a link between nonadipose tissue compartments and the greater cardiovascular risk associated with high BMI.

But, soybean presence in forage improved the protein content of forage. Moreover, 33% soybean rate in mixed crop produced high total CP yield as much as sole sorghum promising an expectation in enhancing animal performance due to slight decreases in NDF and ADF contents compared to pure sorghum.

Destruction of natural resources and increased global warming as a result of the rapidly rising p... more Destruction of natural resources and increased global warming as a result of the rapidly rising population of the world have started to create significant pressure on sufficient and balanced nutrition of living beings and pushed humankind into a search for new resources. Especially plants that grow in extreme climate and soil conditions and provide sufficient quantities and quality for feeding humans and animals have been prioritized. In this sense, the quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) plant, which is not selective in terms of climate and soil conditions and can grow in a very diverse set of ecological conditions, was seen as one of the plants that may first come to mind. Quinoa is a plant which may be easily grown in different altitude, soil and climate conditions and used for human and animal diets with its high nutritional value (Kır, 2016). Quinoa, which is a plant of the Andes, is considered to the plant of the future for feeding the people and animals in the world. Studies h...

The results showed that different treatments of salinity had statistically considerable effects on the germination percentage, germination energy, germination index, relative germination rate and germination time. Germination percentage and relative germination rate features of spinach cultivars were not influenced by 0-50 mM NaCl concentration, but germination energy values showed small decreases. In those features important decreases occurred by 100 mM concentration and the lowest values obtained at 200 mM. Despite the increase in germination time, germination index considerably decreased in accordance with the increasing salt concentrations. However, Green Gold cultivar demonstrated better performance than the other cultivars for most of measured parameters under different salinity levels.

Especially plants that grow in extreme climate and soil conditions and provide sufficient quantities and quality for feeding humans and animals have been prioritized. In this sense, the quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) plant, which is not selective in terms of climate and soil conditions and can grow in a very diverse set of ecological conditions, was seen as one of the plants that may first come to mind. Quinoa is a plant which may be easily grown in different altitude, soil and climate conditions and used for human and animal diets with its high nutritional value (Kır, 2016). Quinoa, which is a plant of the Andes, is considered to the plant of the future for feeding the people and animals in the world. Studies h...

Research paper thumbnail of Effects of Different Salt Concentrations (NaCl) on Germination of Some Spinach Cultivars Farklı Tuz (NaCl) Konsantrasyonlarının Bazı Ispanak Çeşitlerinde Çimlenme Üzerine Etkisi

The results showed that different treatments of salinity had statistically considerable effects on the germination percentage, germination energy, germination index, relative germination rate and germination time. Germination percentage and relative germination rate features of spinach cultivars were not influenced by 0-50 mM NaCl concentration, but germination energy values showed small decreases. In those features important decreases occurred by 100 mM concentration and the lowest values obtained at 200 mM. Despite the increase in germination time, germination index considerably decreased in accordance with the increasing salt concentrations. However, Green Gold cultivar demonstrated better performance than the other cultivars for most of measured parameters under different salinity levels.
