Yem Şalgamı (Brassica Rapa L.) ile Tritikale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) Karışımının Kuru Ot Verimi ve Kalitesi

Öz

Bu çalışma Bilecik ekolojik koşullarında yem şalgamının (Brassica rapa L. “YŞ”) ile tritikalenin (xTriticosecale Wittmack, “T”) karışımlarının (yem şalgamı:tritikale sırasıyla %100:0, %75:25, %50:50, %25:75 ve %0:100) kuru ot verimi ile kalitesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışma Bilecik Şeyh Edebali Üniversitesi Tarımsal Araştırma ve Uygulama arazisinde iki yıl (2023-2024 ve 2024-2025) süreyle ve tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre 3 tekrarlamalı olarak yürütülmüştür. Bitkilerde hasat yalın yem şalgamı ve karışımlarda yem şalgamının çiçeklenme, yalın tahıllarda ise süt olum döneminde yapılmıştır. Karışımlarda, botanik kompozisyon, kuru ot ve protein verimi, asit deterjanda çözünmeyen lif, nötr deterjanda çözünmeyen lif, potasyum (K), fosfor (P), kalsiyum (Ca) ve magnezyum (Mg) içerikleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışmada iki yıllık sonuçlara göre; en yüksek kuru ot ve protein verimi %75YŞ+25T (1338.78-210.52 kg/da), %50YŞ+50T (1415.18-206.49 kg/da) ve %25YŞ+75T (1362.77-188.37 kg/da) karışımlarından elde edilmiştir. Karışımların K, P, Ca ve Mg içerikleri sırasıyla %2.37-2.01, %0.47-0.22, %1.25-0.22 ve %0.25-0.12 arasında değişmiştir. Çalışma sonucunda, Bilecik ekolojik koşullarında yem şalgamı ile tritikalenin tüm karışımlarının ekilmesinin kuru ot verimi ve kalitesi açısından uygun olacağı sonucuna varılmıştır.

Hay Yield and Quality of Different Mixtures of Forage Turnip (Brassica Rapa L.) and Triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack)

Öz

This study aimed to determine the hay yield and quality of mixtures (100:0%, 75:25%, 50:50%, 25:75%, and 0:100%) of forage turnip (Brassica rapa L. “FT”) and triticale (xTriticosecale wittmack, “T”) under the ecological conditions of Bilecik. The study was conducted over two years (2023–2024 and 2024–2025) at the Agricultural Research and Application field of Bilecik Şeyh Edebali University, and it using a Randomized Complete Block Design with three replications. Sole forage turnip and mixtures were harvested at the flowering stage, based on forage turnip, while the triticale was harvested at the milk stage. Botanical composition, hay and protein yield, acid detergent fiber, neutral detergent fiber, potassium (K), phosphorus (P), calcium (Ca), and magnesium (Mg) contents were determined. According to the two-year results of the study, the highest hay and crude protein yields were obtained from the mixtures of 75FT+25T% (1338.78–210.52 kg da-1), 50FT+50T% (1415.18–206.49 kg da-1), and 25FT+75T% (1362.77–188.37 kg da-1). The K, P, Ca, and Mg contents of the mixtures ranged between 2.37-2.01%, 0.47-0.22%, 1.25-0.22%, and 0.25-0.12%, respectively. As a result of the study, it was concluded that all mixtures of forage turnip and triticale are suitable for cultivation under the ecological conditions of Bilecik in terms of both hay yield and quality.
