Sweet White Lupins Versus Local Bitter Genotype: Agronomic Characteristics as Affected by Different Planting Densities in the Goller Region of Turkey. European Journal of Agronomy, 17(3), 181-189. Doi: 10.1016/s1161-0301(02)00007-21161-0301https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/s1161-0301(02)00007-2https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12395/18047A 2-year study was conducted to determine optimum planting density and its effects on some agronomic characteristics of a local bitter Lupinus albus L. genotype (land race) and two sweet cultivars, namely Amiga and Lolita as new germplasms, which may offer advantages over currently grown local genotype in the Destigin district (37degrees59' N, 31degrees25' E) of Konya region, Turkey. Seeds of three genotypes were sown in combinations, at three different row spacing (15, 20 and 25 cm) and three row distances (9, 12 and 15 cm) (minimum 27 to maximum 74 plants m(-2)) in an experimental design of split-split plots of randomised complete blocks with three replications during the spring seasons of 1993 and 1994. The highest seed yield was obtained from the local bitter genotype with a low planting density of 15 x 9 cm, row spacing x row distance, respectively. Sweet cultivars were out yielded by the local genotype in almost every characteristic such as seed yield, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod except thousand seed weight. Additionally, the land race was more resistant to wilting disease, Fusarium sp., which severely affected seed yield, especially in 1993. The relationships between planting density and agronomic characteristics seem to be highly influenced by the cultivar, year and climatic conditions. The local genotype was least affected by environmental conditions, with sweet cultivars showing cultivar x year interactions significantly affecting the yield components.
