Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of seeding rate on yield and quality components in forage
pea cultivars. Four pea cultivars (Ulubatli, Kirazli, Golyazi and Urunlu) and five seeding rates (75, 100, 125,
150 and 175 viable seeds m-2
) were used in this study. Field experiments were carried out from 2009 to 2011
during the winter growth period at Uludag University, Faculty of Agriculture, Agricultural Research and
Application Center in Bursa province, Turkey. The experimental design was a randomized complete block
desing with three replications. Dry matter yield, crude protein ratio and yield, acid detergent fiber, neutral
detergent fiber, total digestible nutrients and relative feed values were determined. Significant differences
were found among the pea cultivars and seeding rates in all measured characteristics in both years. The
highest dry matter yield was obtained from the Kirazli cultivar at 125 seed m-2
. The digestibility of the
Golyazi cultivar was higher than the other cultivars. On the other hand, the digestibility of the forage
decreased as the seeding rate increased.
