Özet

This research was carried out in 2017 and 2018 to determine the agronomic and chemical quality characteristics of 18 soybean genotypes including seven advanced lines and eleven cultivars under Tokat-Kazova conditions. The feasibility of soybean production in the region has been determined to create a database that may contribute to the oilseed deficit in the future. The phenological (germination, first flowering and physiological maturity) and morphological characteristics (plant height, number of side branches, first pod height, number of pods per plant, number of grains per pod, 1000-seed weight, seed yield, oil ratio, oil yield, protein ratio and yield) were examined in the study. All properties except number of grains per pod were significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05) different between genotypes. The seed yield varied between 1.82 and 3.00 t ha-1, oil ratio was between 19.73 and 25.20% and protein ratio was between 30.39 and 43.44%. The results of the study revealed that genotypes of 1, 2, 3 and 9 for the seed yield, 1, 7 and 8 for the oil yield and 1, 2 and 9 for the protein yield can be promising under Tokat-Kazova conditions. However, more efficient cultivars are needed due to the insufficient performances of the genotypes investigated.
