| Summary: | This work was conducted with two lesser burnet types to determine the amount of variation in some characters. Lesser burnet types were grown in Ankara in the spring of 1996. Plants in the field were observed for a number of morphological and agronomic characteristics in 1997. Bünyan 80 cultivar had superiority for stem number, inflorescence length, 1000 fruit weight, dry yield per plant, leaf ratio, germination at 0.05 probabilty level. A wide range of variation was detected among the plants. Values obtained by rating coefficients of variation for each type made it clear that the variation in native population material was wider for most of the characteristics observed. The upper limits of variation in the material collected from Ankara rangelands were also higher than those of Bünyan 80 cultivar. Data showed that native genotype could be used in lesser burnet breeding studies for agricultural purposes. |
