Türkiye'de Buğday (T. aestivum L.) Ekim Alanı, Üretim ve Veriminin Krigging Yöntemi ile Değerlendirmesi

The purpose of this study was to reveal similarities and dissimilarities of provinces and to determine the potential of provinces on wheat in terms of for acreage, production and yield by using krigging method in Turkey. Wheat is the most important and strategic crop for Turkey and plays important a role in crop production, food industry and animal husbandry whether it is given greater importance in production marketing and valorization. Results revealed that, significant relationships appear between acreage, production and crop yield. Besides, climatic, topographic and soil conditions are very significant factors in determining acreage, yield and production of wheat. The use of cultivars having higher yield, more tolerance to drought cold, and have a shorter growing period allowing rapid development will increase crop, yield therefore acreage and production.

DETERMINATION OF AGRONOMIC CHARACTERS OF TRITICALE GENOTYPES SUITABLE FOR RAIN-FED AND IRRIGATED CONDITIONS

This research was conducted to compare agronomic characters of four triticale lines and three triticale cultivars suitable to irrigated conditions and six triticale lines and three triticale cultivars suitable rain-fed (non-irrigated) conditions in Eskisehir during 2006-2007 growing period. The experiment was conducted in randomized block design with four replications under irrigated and nonirrigated conditions. Statistically significant differences were found between lines and cultivars for all characters except for harvest index. Results are indicated that there are variations for the investigated characters. This may means that all lines can be use for breeding programs as gene sources. Results of this study showed that KTVD 10 and KTVD 14 may be good candidates as cultivar for non-irrigated areas which STVD 2 and STVD 3 for irrigated.
