Determination of the Hay Yield Performances of Varieties Belonging to Different Amaranth Species in Irrigated and Dry Conditions

Abstract

It is known that amaranths, which are preferred for different purposes (as vegetable, grain, ornamental and fodder crop), have high tolerance to extreme climate and soil conditions. However, in Turkey, there is no study to evaluate the hay yield performances of amaranth species used for feed in irrigated and dry conditions. With the present study, the performances of varieties (Sterk, Helios and Ultra) belonging to different amaranth species in terms of hay yield characteristics (plant height, stem thickness, number of leaf per plant, fresh and dry herbage yields, dry herbage rate, leaf, stem and panicle ratios) in irrigated and dry conditions were tried to be determined. For this purpose, in 2017 and 2018, a study with 3 replications was established according to split plot experimental design on completely randomized blocks. As a result of the study, plant height, stem thickness, leaf number, leaf ratio, fresh herbage and hay yields were found to be higher in irrigated conditions, but dry herbage rate, stem and panicle ratios in dry conditions. In terms of varieties, the highest fresh and dry herbage yields were determined in Sterk variety, following the Helios variety. In addition, it was revealed that Sterk and Helios varieties had a considerable amount of fresh and dry herbage yields in dry conditions. As a result, it has been concluded that it would be appropriate to grow the Sterk variety under irrigated conditions for high forage yields.

Sulu ve Kuru Koşullarda Farklı Amarant Türlerine Ait Çeşitlerin Ot Verim Performanslarının Belirlenmesi

Öz

Farklı amaçlar (sebze, dane, süs ve yem bitkisi olarak ) için tercih edilen amarantların, ekstrem iklim ve toprak koşullarına toleranslarının yüksek olduğu bilinmektedir. Ancak Ülkemizde yem amacıyla kullanılan amarant türlerinin sulu ve kuru koşullarda ot verim performanslarının değerlendirilmesine yönelik bir çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Mevcut çalışma ile farklı amarant türlerine ait çeşitlerin (Sterk, Helios ve Ultra) ot verimi ve bazı özellikleri (bitki boyu, sap kalınlığı, yaprak sayısı, yaş ot verimi, kuru ot verimi, kuru ot oranı, yaprak, sap ve salkım oranı) sulu ve kuru koşullarda belirlenmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu amaçla 2017 ve 2018 yıllarında tesadüf bloklarında bölünmüş parseller deneme deseninde 3 tekerrürlü bir çalışma kurulmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda çeşitlerin bitki boyu, sap kalınlığı, yaprak sayısı, yaprak oranı, yaş ot ve kuru ot verimleri sulu koşullarda, kuru ot oranı, sap ve salkım oranları ise kuruda daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Çeşitler açısından en yüksek yaş ot ve kuru ot verimleri Helios çeşidini müteakiben Sterk çeşidinde belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca Sterk ve Helios çeşitlerinin kuru koşullarda azımsanmayacak oranda yaş ot ve kuru ot verimlerine sahip oldukları ortaya konulmuştur. Sonuç olarak yüksek ot verimleri için Sterk çeşidinin sulu koşullarda yetiştirilmesinin uygun olacağı kanısına varılmıştır.
