Abstract

This research was established in order to determine the quality characteristics of common vetch and ryegrass by testing different mixture ratios in different locations and to measure the effects of mixing ratios. Aneto common vetch and Trinova ryegrass cultivars were used in the trials. The experiment was carried out in the locations of Manisa/Beydere and Ankara/Yenikent in the vegetation period of 2021-2022 according to the randomized blocks trial design.

The highest crude protein ratio was obtained from the 100% V mixture with a value of 20.4% from the Manisa location. The lowest crude protein ratio was obtained from the Ankara location with a value of 11.1% from the 100% G mixture.

As a result of this study, it was found that the legume and grass forage crops planted as a mixture were better for interrestrial and coastal regions in terms of quality compared to pure stand growing. In fact, it has been determined that forage crops planted as a mixture are more advantageous in terms of quality since they are more resistant to lodging than pure legume stands.
