Determination of Some Plant and Yield Characteristics with Preference Conditions in Grazing of Endemic Calligonum polygonoides L. ssp. comosum (L’Hér.) Shrub for Turkey
Abstract
This study was conducted to determine the preference conditions in grazing by animals with some yield and
vegetable characteristics of Ebu Cehil shrub growing naturally in Iğdır-Aralık wind erosion region. For this purpose, grazing and
non-grazing areas where Ebu Cehil intensively grew were chosen as research area in 2014. At 25 shrub groups selected according
to sampling method without plot on an area of 5 decares which were not grazed by animals; plant height (cm), twing length (cm),
number of branches per group, fresh twing and dry twing yield (kg) were determined. The preferences of animals to grazing was
carried out on grazing pastures (5 da). Descriptive statistical method was used to determine the plant and yield characteristics. At
the end of the study, it ranged from 120.0 to 225.0 cm for plant height, from 45.10 to 68.25 cm for twing lenght, from 12.0 to 19.0
number for number of branches per group, from 19.17 to 67.13 kg for fresh twing yield per group and from 5.49 to 16.20 kg for
dry twing yield per group. Regarding their preference by animals, it was seen that plants were intensively prefered during the
development period. As a result, it was determined that Ebu Cehil shrub had a dense branching through the root zone, a high
growth power and the feed material producing in amount that was negligible during the vegetation period. Also, it was revealed
that Ebu Cehil was ambitiously grazed by animal (especially small ruminants).
