Research Notes : Turkey : Screening of some soybean varieties for resistance to whitefly (Bemisia tabaci Genn.)

There are approximately 70,000 hectares soybean planted area in Aegean, Mediterranean, and Southeastern Anatolian regions of Turkey. These regions have the most productive land of Turkey. The main crops in these areas are cotton and wheat

Research Notes : Turkey : Research on growing possibilities of some determinate soybean varieties as a second crop in Cukurova, Turkey

Cukurova region, located in 37°19\u27N latitude, extends from the Hatay province in the east to the i~el province in the west; from the Mediterranean Sea in the south to the Tourus Mountains in the north. It has 1.2 million hectares arable land; 1.1 million ha of land is used for growing field crops. Cukurova region has the most productive land of Turkey. For this reason, more than 50% of the arable land is irrigated and main crops are cotton and wheat

Research Notes : Turkey : Double-crop soybean production techniques in Turkey

Turkey is located between 36° and 42° N latitude. Syria, Iraq, and the Mediterranean Sea border Turkey on the south; the Black Sea on the north; Russia and Iran on the east; and the Aegean Sea, Greece and Bulgaria on the west. The country has a total area of 77.9 million hectares. Approximately 36% is cultivated, 26% is pasture and meadow land, and the remaining 38% is forest or unproductive land (Tarimsal Yapi ve Uretim, 1984)

Research Notes : Turkey : Effect of cheese whey as a fertilizer on the increase of soybean nodules

Cheese whey, a dairy by-product with an estimated world production of 72 million tons, is a polluter to the environment if it is not treated before disposal. Among some practical and simple uses of whey is the use of it as a liquid fertilizer, which was the case in the pastures of USA and many other countries in the 1960s (Ryder, 1980). Since whey contains 50-55% of the dry matter of whole milk, it is rich in organic carbohydrate, fat, and some proteins and inorganic matter (mineral matter) and also in mostly lactic acid bacteria; 3 tons of whey equals 1 ton of animal fertilize

The Determination of New Peanut Varieties for Osmaniye Region and Their Important Agronomic and Quality Characteristics

WOS: 000457128900003In this study, important agricultural and quality characteristics of other thirteen different peanut varieties (HALISBEY, ARIOGLU-2003, SULTAN, FLOWER-22, OSMANIYE-2005, BRANTLEY, WILSON, BATEM-5025, BATEM-CIHANGIR, GEORGIA GREEN, FLORISPAN and NC V-11) alternative to the most cultivated NC-7 peanut variety in Osmaniye region were determined. The research was conducted in the experimental areas belonging to Oil Seeds Research Institute for two years (2015 to 2016) in the main crop conditions. The experiment was set up with 4 replications according to randomized block trial design. Important agricultural and quality characteristics such as pod number per plant, pod yield per plant, pod yield per da, 100 pod weight, 100 seed weight, kernel percentage, fancy pod percentage, oil ratio, protein ratio and fatty acid were investigated in the research. The pod number per plant, 100 seed weight, internal rate and pod yield per decare were varied between 15.53-43.31 number, 53.27-132.68 g, 62.40-76.57 % and 234.46-655.41 kg/da respectively for tested varieties. HALISBEY, OSMANIYE-2005, SULTAN, NC V-11, BATEM-5025, BRANTLEY varieties were found high yielding and it has been found that these varieties can be grown successfully as a main crop, an alternative to NC-7 in Osmaniye Region. The oleic acid ratio was found very high in BRANTLEY (80.94%) in main growing season
