Effects of Different Frequencies and Potassium Doses on Yield and Yield Components in Seed Sunflower

Effects of Different Frequencies and Potassium Doses on Yield and Yield Components in Seed Sunflower

Field trials of the present study was realized in 3 isolation areas (3 different regions) as EK1102 variety in Eşrefli location, VE3060 variety in Aşağıpiribeyli location and PS4042 variety in Doğanyurt location - TURKEY according to split plot in randomized complete block design with 3 replications. The main plots consisted from the plant density for the line control (PS4042: 6200 plant da-1, VE3060: 5700 plant da-1, EK1102: 6500 plant da-1, 5000 plant da-1, 6000 plant da-1, 7000 plant da-1) and 4 potassium doses (0, 3, 5, 7 kg/da K2SO4) applicated According to results the following ranges were detected; 109.67-307.00 kg da-1 for grain yield, 9.33-12.33 for days emergence period, 68.00-77.67 for days flowering period, 76.00-168.00 cm for plant height, 17.00-27.00 cm for diameter of the head, 7.33-8.72 gr for weight of one hundred grains, 4.17-7.15 mm for seed diameter, 11090.88-14519.33 pieces for kernel kg-1. Consequently, results of the present research showed that, the lowest value was 11090 kernels kg-1 , PS4042 variety with 7 kg da-1 potassium dose application and 7000 plant da-1 sowing density while the highest value was 14519 kernel kg-1 and VE3060 variety with 5 kg da-1 potassium dose application and 5000 plant da-1 sowing density. It can be concluded that deep and various factors are needed to focus for more reliable data collection and adaptation to different ecologies.
