CULTIVARS UNDER DIFFERENT NITROGEN TREATMENTS}, journal={Anadolu Tarım Bilimleri Dergisi}, volume={21}, pages={44–48}, year={2006}, DOI={10.7161/anajas.2006.21.1.44-48}, author={Albayrak, Sebahattin and Çamaş, Ncdet}, keywords={Forage turnip, nitrogen fertilizer, root yield, leaf yield}, abstract={The effects of five nitrogen rates (0, 50, 100, 150 and 200 kg ha-1) on root, leaf yields and some yield components of four forage turnips (Agressa, Siloganova, Polybra and Volenda) were evaluated under the Black Sea Coastal Area Conditions in Turkey in the 2002 and 2003 growing seasons. The root yield, root dry matter yield, root crude protein yield, root diameter, root length, leaf yield, leaf dry matter yield, and leaf crude protein yield were determined. Root and leaf yields and their yield components of forage turnip cultivars increased along with increase of nitrogen doses. The highest root and leaf dry matter yields were obtained from cultivar Volenda (7.19 and 5.24 t ha-1, respectively) in the treatments of 150 kg per hectare nitrogen.}, number={1}, publisher={Ondokuz Mayıs University}
