Farklı Sıra Aralıklarında Yetiştirilen ve Depolanan Tef Bitkisine (Eragrostis tef [Zucc.] Trotter) Ait Tohumların Bazı Agronomik Özelliklerin Belirlenmesi

Teff has gradually gained a place in people's eating habits due to its rich content and gluten-free nature. In addition, it has become an alternative feed source for producers engaged in animal production. In 2019, seeds of teff, which were produced at different row spacings (10cm-20cm-30cm-40cm-40cm-50cm) in Bingöl University Agricultural Application and Research Center land, were stored under controlled conditions for four years. In 2023, some agronomic characteristics (length, width, surface area, arithmetic diameter, geometric diameter, sphericity, sphericity, thousand grain weight) of these seeds were determined under controlled conditions in Bingöl University Faculty of Agriculture, Biosystem Engineering and Field Crops Laboratories. According to the results obtained, it was determined that teff seeds had a long and oval seed structure. It was also found that the difference in row spacing did not cause a significant numerical difference between the tef seeds. This showed that there was no effect of the difference between rows on the agronomic characteristics of teff seeds.
