The experiment was arranged in randomized block designwith three replications and conducted at the research field of Yozgat BozokUniversity located in inner Anatolia, Yozgat-Turkey. Alfalfa and companioncrops were sown as binary mixtures with 60 cm row distance in the spring of2015. All the data was collected in theestablishment year and the first production year (2016). Hay yield, proteinyield, ADF (Acid detergent fiber), NDF (neutral detergent fiber), Ca, Mg, P andK content were investigated in all the treatments. Alfalfa intercroppedsorghum-sudangrass hybrid at 100%:60% seed ratio produced the highest hay yieldboth in the establishment year (18.25 t ha-1) and the firstproduction year (17.91 t ha-1). This study showed that intercroppingincreased hay and protein yield of alfalfa stand compare to sole alfalfa withthe significant effect of companion crop and seed ratio.

Yonca ile birliktekarışık olarak; sorgumxsudanotu melezi, soya, börülce ve karabuğdaykullanılmıştır. Karışımlar % 100:100, % 100:80 veya % 100:60 tohum oranlarıylaekilmiş, kontrol olarak ise yalın yonca kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Tesadüf BloklarıDeneme Desenine göre 3 tekrarlamalı olarak kurulmuş olup, Yozgat BozokÜniversitesi Uygulama ve Araştırma arazisinde yürütülmüştür. Yonca ile arkadaşbitkilerin ekimi sıra arası 60 cm olacak şekilde ve 2015 ilkbahar dönemindeyapılmıştır. Çalışmada tüm gözlemler hem denemenin kurulduğu yılda hem deikinci yılda alınmıştır. Araştırmada tümişlemlerde kuru ot verimi, protein verimi ile ADF, NDF, Ca, Mg, P ve Kiçerikleri incelenmiştir. En yüksek kuru ot verimi hem denemenin kurulduğu ilkyıl (18.25 t/ha) hem de ikinci yılda (17.91 t/ha) yonca + sorgumxsudanotumelezinin % 100:60 karışımından elde edilmiştir. Bu çalışmada karışık ekiminyalın yonca ekimine oranla ot ve protein verimini yükselttiği ve yoncanınarkadaş bitkiden ve karışım oranlarından etkilendiği belirlenmiştir.
