Determination of the usability of some ethnobotanically used wild plant species as forage crops

Öz

Eastern Anatolia Region is located in an area where three phytogeographical regions intersect. Many of the plants known by the public and used as food in human and animal nutrition or for therapeutic purposes in traditional medicine are found in the natural flora, especially in meadows, pastures and cultivated areas. This study aimed to determine the potential of the plants found in the natural flora, which are still used for different purposes, as alternative forage crops on Kop Mountain where pasture-based stock farming is continued. The study identified 85 plant species, which are ethnobotanically used for food and medicinal purposes, from 25 families. From these genetic resources, cluster analysis was performed on 39 species from 15 families, which have alternative forage crop value. Firstly, B. corolliflora, B. lomatogona, P. cognatum, P. aviculare, P. major, Sinapis arvensis, Rapistrum rugosum, P. lanceolata, C. transsylvanica, C. syriaca, Chenopodium album, Capsella bursa pastoris, Asparagus persicus and Atriplex nitens species were found to be available as alternative forage crops. The data obtained suggests that it is possible to expand the genetic resources of forage crops with plants from different families and species and to increase the diversity of forage crops by means of such studies.
