Determing Adaptation Of Some Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata L. Walp) Local Populations And Registered Cultivars To Siirt Ecological Conditions
Journal Title: ISPEC Journal of Agricultural Sciences - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The Southeastern Anatolia region is not suitable for bean cultivation due to its extremely hot and dry climate characteristics in summer season. As an alternative to bean cultivation, the cowpea plant is thought to be a new selection to the regional agricultural production pattern. Cowpea is a genus with higher tolerance to hot and arid climatic conditions. The 75% of total cowpea production is cultivated in Aegean region and the 45% of this production is obtained from İzmir. This study was laid out to determine adaptation of different cowpea genotypes to the Siirt conditions. The 3 local populations and 3 registered cultivars (Karnıkara, Karagöz, Akkız) were used as material. The emergence time, flowering time, pod setting time, plant height, number of branches per plant, first pod height, pod length, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, number of seeds per plant, 1000-seed weight, biological yield, seed yield and harvest index were observed in the study. Accordig to the results, the differences between cultivars and local populations were statistically significant in terms of all characteristics excepts for emergence time and the number of branches per plant. The grain yield values of used genotypes in the study varied between 76.6-223.7 kg da-1 and the highest grain yield was obtained from Karagöz variety. As a result, it was determined that the Karagöz cultivar has an helpful potantial in terms of cultivation in Siirt ecological conditions.
