Abstract:

The research was conducted to determine yield and yield components of some bitter vetch genotypes in order to examine some of the traits, during 2012-2014 seasons in GAP International Agricultural Research and Training Center (D.Bakır) was carried out on the experimental field. In the study, a total of 8 different genotypes were used bitter vetch, field trials randomized block design with 3 replications was established. In the study, herbage yield, hay yield and seed yield in addition to days to %50 flowering duration, plant height, main stem length, main stem number, pod number per plant, grain number per pod as affecting yield some properties were also investigated. In both years of the study, days to %50 flowering duration, main stem length, main stem number, pod number per plant, grain number per pod and 1000 seed weight characteristics examined, except among genotypes for all other parameters are determined significant differences in statistical terms. According to the average of two years result days to %50 flowering duration, plant height, main stem length, main stem number, pod number per plant, grain number per pod, herbage yield, hay yield, seed yield, 1000 seed weight were changed between 165.1-168.1 days, 28.6-39.5 cm, 37.0-45.9 cm, 2.1-2.4 number, 12.0-26.7 number, 2.6-3.0 number, 1613.5-2039.2 kg da-1, 422.6-509.3 kg da-1, 126.6-200.5 kg da-1, 42.9-53.3 g, respectively. According to these results, under the climate and soil conditions of Diyarbakır for the grass production bitter vetch genotypes " IFVE 3351-SEL 2804" was suggested and for the seed production bitter vetch genotypes " IFVE 2920 SEL 2801" were suggested
