Performances of hairy vetch varieties under different locations of mediterranean environment

The aim of the present research was to evaluate the performances of four winter vetch varieties (i.e., 'Aday' ('Ceylan'), 'Efes-79', 'Menemen-79' and 'Selçuklu-2002') grown in two locations viz., Agricultural Stations of Hatay and Ceylanpinar in Turkey during 2010-12. In both the locations, all traits of winter hairy vetch varieties were significant, except for winter hardiness and plant length in Ceylanpinar and winter hardiness and length of the main stem in Hatay. Considering on varieties, variety 'Aday' ('Ceylan') with winter hairy vetch produced the highest dry matter production in both agricultural locations. Therefore, it is assumed that variety 'Aday' ('Ceylan') considerably to be the most appropriate for both the locations to achieved erect growing, high-productivity and winter-resistant, as well as a promising variety. © by PSP
