Determination of yield and quality properties of different originated black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) genotypes in Bursa ecological conditions

This research was conducted to determine the agricultural properties and crude oil ratios of black cumin (Nigella sativa L.) genotypes in 2016 and 2017 year in Bursa ecological conditions. The field trials were established in Agricultural Application and Research Center, Agricultural Faculty, Bursa Uludağ University with three replications according to randomized complete block design. A total of 13 genotypes, 1 registered variety (Çameli) and 12 (Mısır, Hindistan, Yunanistan, Denizli, Keles-Basak, Keles-Avdan, Keles-Yazıbaşı, Harmancık, Dereyalak, Ankara, Gaziantep, Mardin) were used as plant material in the experiment. When combined data were evaluated, plant height, number of branches, number of capsules, capsule diameter, number of seeds in capsules, seed weight in capsule, number of seeds, seed yield per plant, seed yield, 1000 seed weight, harvest index, fixed oil content and fixed oil yield were determined between 25,58-50,50 cm, 3,53-4,31 unit/plant, 5,36-8,05 unit/plant, 9,65-10,95 mm, 60,66-89,25 unit, 0,178-0,251 g, 250,76-439,48 unit/plant, 1.00-1.37 g, 38,75-89,08 kg/da, 2,23-3,42 g, 36,66-45,66 %, 29,14-32,98 % and 12,13-27,27 kg/da respectively. As a result of this research, especially when seed yield and fixed oil ratio are taken into consideration it was concluded that Harmancık, Denizli, Keles-Basak, Keles-Yazıbaşı, Ankara and Çameli genotypes could be grown in Bursa and similar ecologies and these genotypes could be accepted as promising for future studies.
