SEED YIELD-MINERAL RELATIONSHIP IN BREAD WHEAT (Triticum aestivum L.) AND BARLEY (Hordeum vulgare L.)

Abstract

In this study, the distribution and relationship of minerals in bread wheat and barley genotypes were revealed using principal component, biplot and desicion tree analyses. Minerals; N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Na, Fe, Mn, Zn and Cu and seed yield were determined on bread wheat and barley genotypes. As a result, Except Bayraktar, other wheat genotypes were determined as richer and more stable in terms of minerals. Only Ünver barley genotype was determined as more efficient and more stable than other barleys in terms of minerals. As a result of principal component, biplot and desicion tree analyses, N, Ca and P were determined as the most effective minerals.
