The first data of a newly recorded native goat genotype called Manavlı in Türkiye: growth traits of kids Akbaş, Aykut Asım; Saatcı, Mustafa; Elmaz, Özkan; Yazıcı, Can Metin This study aimed to define growth traits of kids named Manavlı goat from six flocks under the breeder’s conditions in Denizli Province. The average birth weights of the kids were 3.63 kg, 4.28 kg, 3.85 kg, 4.11 kg, 3.83 kg, and 3.64 kg for the six flocks, respectively. The average live weights of male and female kids on 60th, 90th, and 150th day of age were 16.50 kg, 22.35 kg, and 34.82 kg and 15.33 kg, 20.14 kg, and 32.06 kg, respectively (p < 0.05). While the average live weights of single kids on 60th, 90th were 16.70 kg and 21.96 kg, the values for twins were 15.13 kg and 21.03 kg, respectively (p < 0.05). Body measurements of male kids such as height at withers, rump height, rump width, body length, heart girth, head length, ear length, tail length, and front and back wrist girth were measured as 70.26 cm, 70.21 cm, 16.23 cm, 66.80 cm, 70.11 cm, 19.51 cm, 22.16 cm, 18.59 cm, 11.85 cm, and 11.57 cm, respectively, on the 150th day of age. This study is the first research related to growth traits of Manavlı kids, for which no features have been reported to date. It was thought that the results obtained will help to characterise the Manavlı goat and will provide a database for the following studies.

Effects of Different Soil Tillage Methods, Phosphorus Fertilizer Doses and Bacteria Inoculation on Yield and Yield Components in Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Üyeturk, Afife Sinem; Kayan, Nihal; Toğay, Necat This study was conducted to determine the effect of different soil tillage methods, phosphorus levels and bacteries on the yield and yield components in chickpea under Mugla/Turkey conditions in 2017 and 2018. Chickpea variety Inci was used as materials in this study. The study was conducted at split-split plot design with the three replication. Soil tillage methods was in main plots, phosphorus doses in subplots and bacteria application in sub-sub plots. According to finding of this study, reduced tillage system for chickpea production was the most efficient tool for obtaining the high yield performance. It is seen that phosphorus fertilizer applications cause an increase in yield in chickpea. In general, the application of rhizobia and phosphate solubilizing bacteria separately supported the yield increase in the plant. As a result, only rhizobia application, 60 kg ha-1 P2O5 and reduced tillage gave the highest yield.

Statistical modeling applications to mitigate the effects of climate change on quality traits of cereals: A bibliometric approach Akın, Melekşen; Eyduran, Sadiye Peral; Rakszegi, Marianna; Yıldırım, Kubilay; Rocha, João Miguel Agricultural production is highly dependent on climate conditions. Cereal yield and quality attributes are expected to vary depending on climate change. Climate alteration is a multifaceted issue which requires complex solutions. Accurate modeling and prediction of climate change impacts on crop production can help build efficient agronomic approaches to cope with this complicated problem. Various statistical methods started to be utilized in modeling and prediction of climate change effects on plant production. Bibliometric analysis is a powerful tool to quantify scientific production, quality and impact. This technique also provides readers with full information related to intellectual, conceptual and social structures of a certain area together with its evolution over time. We used the Web of Science database to extract the relevant literature on modeling applications to mitigate the effects of climate change on quality traits of cereals. Our results projected an upward publication trend with considerable spikes in 2018 and 2020. Although the topic has flourished in recent years, the literature on the field is still fragmented. This fact supports the need for systematization of the literature as we aim in this paper. The study results provide a holistic overview of the fragmented literature on the field by revealing research trends and hidden network patterns between scientific actors. In this way, it is a useful source for scholars interested on the topic to find new collaborations and future research directions.

Field management practices to produce nutritional and healthier minor crops

Field management practices to produce nutritional and healthier minor crops Orhun, Gül Ebru; Maqbool, Amir; Akın, Melekşen; Eyduran, Sadiye Peral; Rakszegi, Marianna Minor crops species are one of the basic sources of essential nutrients required in human and animal nutrition. Field management practices play crucial role in crop production affecting yield and nutritional quality. A wide range of genetic and agronomic practices are adopted to achieve optimal yield and quality which are also affected by agro-climatic conditions. Overuse of NPK fertilizers and inorganic forms of micronutrients may have adverse effects on soil pH, beneficial microbial activity and other soil properties leading to poor yield and nutritional quality of crop species. Tillage, among the field management practices, plays an important role in nutrient availability by decreasing soil compactness and bulk density. In modern agriculture different tillage conditions are reported to increase the disease spread in crop areas as well. Keeping in view this reason, it is necessary to opt for the optimal and best tillage conditions. To cope with the aforementioned problems, appropriate field management practices are essential for good crop yield and quality. In this chapter we have summarized the effect of field management practices on nutritional composition and crop health of minor crops including oat, rye, triticale, and spelt.
