The Effect of Harvest Time and Urea on Morphological Characteristics of Different Grain-Legume Forage Crops

Abstract

This study was carried out by applying different amounts of urea (0, 10 DAP 15 Urea, 10, 20 kg/da) to 5 feed mixture (Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.), Field pea (Pisum arvense L.), oat (Avena sativa L.), Triticale (xTriticosecale Wittmack), Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)) and harvesting in three different periods. It was made to determine the effect of some plant characteristics and forage yield the plants. It was carried out in 4 fields in the towns and villages of Erzincan Province during the 2019-2020 season. In the study, delaying the harvest time caused a decrease in plant characteristics and an increase in hay yield, although the effect of different applications on these properties is important, the difference in herbage yield (3712 kg/da) compared to other applications was significant (P <0.05) in the field where 10 DAP 15 Urea kg/da was applied.
