Aim of the present research was evaluation of growing some legume forage crops as second crop following to cereal harvest under irrigated conditions. Field trial was realized under Seydişehir Town – Konya City/ Turkey ecological conditions for 2 years during the both vegetation periods of 2019-2020 years by 4 replications according to randomized blocks design. As material; forage pea (Pisum sativum L.), soybean (Glycine max. L.), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.), common vetch (Vicia sativum L.), and fenugreek (Trigonella foenum-graecum L.) were used. According to the results of the research, statistically significant differences were found for plant height and green herbage yield as mean of the years. The obtained data also showed that the highest plant height and green herbage yield were taken from forage pea and common vetch. Additionally, plant height was between 126.76-117.94 cm values for pea and common vetch, while green herbage yield was 3085.50 and 2788.63 kg da-1 for pea and common vetch, respectively. Consequently,
legume forage crops as second crop following to the harvest of cereals may be successfully grown under irrigated conditions.
