Abstract
A Research On The Effects Of Different Cutting Tımes On Hay Yield And Quality Of Mixtures Of Some Vetch And Cereal Species Under Ecological Conditions Of Tokat
: This study was conducted during November 1992-June 1993 growing season in Tokat ecological conditions. Experiments were arranged as split plots in
randomized blocs designe with tree replications. Vetch-cereal mixtures were arranged in main plots, and cutting times (25 May and 23 June) were arranged in sub plots.
The results of variance analyses stated that there were significant differences among green herbage yield, dry matter yield, dry matter ratio and crude protein yield of vetch-cereal mixtures. The green herbage yield, dry matter yield and crude protein yield increased with the delaying of harvest time, crude protein content decreased. The highest green yield (3166.7 kg/da), dry matter yield (761.8 kg/da) and crude protein yield (135.48 kg/da) were obtained from the hungary vetch + triticale mixtures.
