Abstract

The aim of the present study was to reveal the effects of different nitrogen levels on seed yield, yield components and some quality traits in various mung bean genotypes in Mediterranean climate conditions. The field experiment was conducted in the research area of the Department of Field Crops, Faculty of Agriculture, University of Cukurova in Turkey during two years in the growing seasons of 2019 and 2021. The experiment was arranged as three replications in the split blocks design based on the randomized complete blocks. Two local genotypes (Antalya 07 A 05, Gaziantep 27 S 08) and two registered cultivars (KPS1 and Jade AU) were used as research materials. Four nitrogen levels (0, 40, 80, 120 kg ha-1) were applied. As the mean of the years, the maximum seed yield was obtained by KPS1 at 80 kg N ha-1 with 2492 kg ha-1 followed by KPS1 and Gaziantep at 40 kg N ha-1 with 2083 kg ha-1 and 1844 kg ha-1, respectively. Swelling capacity and cooking time varied depending on genotypes and N doses between 0.070-0.087 ml seed-1 and 16.7-20.0 min., respectively. Mung bean genotypes at different nitrogen doses contained crude protein between 23.4% and 27.9%, moisture content between 9.8% and 12.8%, ash content between 2.83% and 3.89%.
