The purpose of the research was toinvestigate the effects of autumn and spring sowing on capsule yield, seed yield, yield components, oil contentand morphine content of fifteen poppy cultivars that have been recently registered under Isparta conditions.The experiment was arranged according to the randomized complete-block design with three replicates duringthe years of 2012/13 and 2013/14. The results of the research showed that the differences among capsule yields,seed yields, yield components and morphine contents of the cultivars were statistically significant in bothsowing times and years. The highest and the lowest values of plant height, capsules number, capsule width,capsule length, 1000 seed weight and oil yield of the poppy cultivars varied according to the cultivars, thesowing times and the years. The capsule yield and seed yield of the poppy cultivars in the autumn sowingvaried between 416.7-1043.3 kg ha-1 and 523.5-1276.3 kg ha-1in the first year, between 465.3-1375.6 kg ha-1and 596.7-1520.4 kg ha-1in the second year, respectively. In the spring sowing, the capsule yield and seed yieldof the poppy cultivars varied between 204.3-455.7 kg ha-1 and 286.0-573.0 kg ha-1in the first year, between497.2-830.7 kg ha-1 and 614.3-962.7 kg ha-1in the second year, respectively. The highest oil content wasdetermined in the Zaferyolu cultivar in both years and sowing times. The morphine content of the poppycultivars varied between 0.47-1.00% in the autumn sowing and between 0.45-0.97% in the spring sowing,respectively. The higher values in the autumn sowing were obtained than the spring sowing in all of thecharacteristics investigated in both years, except for the oil content. Considering the present results, TMO-3,Ofis-4, Ofis-8, Tınaztepe and Zaferyolu cultivars were advised in the autumn sowing and the TMO-1, Ofis-8and Afyon-95 cultivars in the spring sowing because of their higher capsule, seed and oil yields. In point of themorphine contents, the TMO-3, TMO-T, Ofis-3, Ofis-8 and Bolvadin-95 cultivars were advised.
