Determination of The Adaptation of Some Azolla (Azolla anabaena L) Genotypes to The Mediterranean and Aegean Coastline Ecological Conditions
Abstract :
The objective of this study was to determine the adaptation of some azolla (Azolla anabaena) genotypes to the Mediterranean and Aegean coastline ecological conditions. The research was carried out in the research fields of Faculty of Agriculture, Aegean University in Menemen-lzmir during 2002-2003 and 2003-2004. In the trial, five genotypes belong to four Azolla species were used. Fresh azolla plants were inoculated at a rate of 300 g m^-2 into ponds for each month, they were harvested 14 days after inoculation and dry matter [g m^2) was determined. The results of the study showed that the genotypes FI-1040 and MI-4030 could be adaptable to the Mediterranean and Aegean coastline ecological conditions. Their dry weights were 67.8 and 68.2 g m^-2 after fourteen days, respectively. The annual dry matter production reached to 16 ton ha-.
