Abstract
Forage and seed yield, relationships among its characters in some grass pea (Lathyrus sativus L.) genotypes
The aim of this investigation was to determine the forage and seed yield, relationships among its characters in some grass pea genotypes. This study was conducted between 2017-2020 at Field Crops Department, Agriculture Faculty, Tekirdağ Namık Kemal University, Turkey in randomized block design with three replications. The characters which were determined in the study varied between; plant height 85.75-103.60 cm, number of branches per plant 5.40-6.42 pcs, number of pods per plant 19.12-27.66 pcs, pod width 9.57-11.60 mm, pod length 31.65-36.70 mm, number of seeds per pod 2.86-3.44 pcs, seed weight per pod 1.74-2.26 g, 1000-seed weight 218.88-260.26 g, seed yield 160.22-270.83 kg da-1, herbage yield 1462.22-2226.67 kg da-1 and hay yield 564.18-373.74 kg da-1. The highest plant height, number of branches per plant, number of pods per plant and seed yield were determined in genotype ‘Karadağ’; however, the highest number of seeds per pod, herbage and hay yield were found in grass pea population 'Tekirdağ'.
