Determination of yield and quality characteristic of some anise lines in Bornova ecological conditions

Present research was conducted to determine some agronomic and technological properties of selected anise lines in Bornova ecological conditions. Randomized complete block design was used with four replications in the research area of Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, Ege University in 2017. As the material, selected eleven anise lines of four different origin were used. In current research; plant height (42.00-49.00 cm), number of branches/plant (5.25-8.75), number of fruit branches/plant (5.02-6.22), number of umbel/plant (6.5-11.62), 1000-seed weight (3-4 g), biological yield (184.50-270.25 kg/da), seed yield (77.62-110.82 kg/da), harvest index (36.5-47.5%) and essential oil ratio (2-3%) were determined. Highest values for all agronomic and yield attributes were shown by three lines (164, 150 and 31). Whereas in terms of essential oil ratio, lines (213, 146, 31 and 51) Madrid, Private Sector, Çeşme and Syria origins possessed highest values. In future anise breeding programs, selected superior lines in terms of yield and quality attributes can be used as a source material.
