The use of legume crops in maize rotation systems may decrease the need for nitrogen (N) fertilization and increase total output. The effect of previous crops (wheat, barley, lentil, Hungarian vetch, and fallow) and different N fertilization rates (0, 120, 160, 200, and 240 kg of N ha^{-1}) on yield and N content of silage maize (Zea mays L.) were evaluated under irrigated conditions in Diyarbakır, Turkey, during the 1999-2000, 2000-2001, and 2001-2002 growing seasons. Dry matter yield varied between 10,068.2 and 16,480.4 kg ha^{-1}. It was determined that Hungarian vetch was a suitable rotation crop, and that 200 kg …


Effect Of Different Planting Dates On Yield And Yield Components Of Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea L.), Öner Canavar, Mustafa Ali̇ Kaynak Jan 2008

Effect Of Different Planting Dates On Yield And Yield Components Of Peanut (Arachis Hypogaea L.), Öner Canavar, Mustafa Ali̇ Kaynak

Turkish Journal of Agriculture and Forestry

This study was conducted in the experiment fields at the Field Crops Department of the Faculty of Agriculture at Adnan Menderes University in 2004-2005. The experiment was performed in a split-plot design with 3 replications. The goals of this study were to determine the appropriate planting date for peanut under the ecological conditions of Aydın and to investigate the effect of different planting dates on some agronomic traits, yield, and yield components of 3 commercial peanut cultivars (Gazipaşa, Florispan, and NC-7) and the local cultivar. It was determined that the planting date had a statistically significant effect on pod yield, …
