Abstract

This study was conducted in the experimental fields of Field Crop Department of Agricultural. Faculty of Ege University in the growing season of 2011-2012. Effect of different harvesting stages (April, May, June, July and August) and f cutting rate (green shoot harvest at 50-100%) on the herbage yield and some other yield characteristics of Shrub-Medic (Medicago arborea L.) were tested in the experiment. The Experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Some characteristics such as fresh herbage yield, fresh leaf ratio, fresh stem ratio, air dried hay content were determined. Results indicated that the highest fresh herbage yield (969 g plant-1), leaf rate of fresh herbage (75.8%) were obtained when five years old crops harvested at the rate of 50% in April.

Farklı Hasat Dönemi ve Oranlarının Çalımsı Yonca (Medicago arborea L.) Verimine Etkileri

Abstract

Bu araştırma 2011-2012 yılları yetiştirme sezonunda Ege Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü deneme tarlasında 3 tekrarlı olarak yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada, farklı hasat dönemi (Nisan, Mayıs, Haziran, Temmuz, Ağustos) ile biçim oranının (yeşil sürgünlerin %50 veya %100 biçilmesi) çalımsı yonca (Medicago arborea L.)’da verim ve verime ilişkin bazı özellikler üzerine etkisi incelenmiştir. İki faktörlü tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre kurulan denemede, yeşil ot verimi, yeşil otta yaprak oranı, yeşil otta sap oranı, havada kuru madde oranı gibi karakterler incelenmiştir. Bulgular, genel olarak erken ilkbahar döneminde ve Nisan ayında özellikle 5 yaşındaki bitkilerin %50 oranında hasat edildiği koşullarda en yüksek yeşil ot (969 g bitki-1) ve yeşil otta yaprak oranı (%75.8) elde edildiğini göstermiştir.
