There are many plant species for different uses in both cropland and natural vegetation. Some of these plants have value of hay and are utilized by livestock. Therefore, it should be determi-ned that which plant species can be alternative to cultivated forage plants.
This study was conducted to determine the morphological characteristics and crude protein ratios of 11 wild plants naturally growing in Konya. Maximum plant height was obtained from Atriplex nitens Schkuhr.(161,0 cm). Maximum plant weight was determined in Alcea pallida Waldst et Kit.(519,85 g). Maximum crude protein ratio was found in Atriplex hastata L.(%17,84).}, number={29}, publisher={Selcuk University}
