Effects of Phosphorus Fertilization on Forage Yield and Quality of Common Vetch (Vicia sativa Roth.)

Abstract

This research was conducted to determine the effects of five phosphorus rates (0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 kgha⁻¹) on forage yield and quality of common vetch (Vicia sativa Roth.). Dry matter (DM) yield, crude protein (CP), acid detergent fibre (ADF), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), total digestible nutrient (TDN) and relative feed value (RFV) were determined. Phosphorus rates significantly affected all components determined in common vetch. Phosphorus applications increased DM yield, TDN, RFV, CP contents, but decreased ADF and NDF contents.

Fosforlu Gübrelemenin Yaygın Fiğin (Vicia sativa L.) Ot Verimi ve Kalitesi Üzerine Etkileri

Öz

Bu araştırma beş farklı fosfor dozunun (0, 3, 6, 9 ve 12 kg/da P₂O₅) yaygın fiğin (Vicia sativa L.) ot verimi ve kalitesi üzerine etkilerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırmada kuru madde verimi, ham protein oranı, ADF, NDF, toplam sindirilebilir besin maddesi (TDN) ve nispi besleme değeri (RFV) gibi özellikler incelenmiştir. Fosfor dozları, belirlenen bütün komponentler üzerine istatistikî olarak önemli düzeyde etki yapmıştır. Araştırma sonucuna göre fosfor dozları arttıkça kuru madde verimi, TDN, RFV ve ham protein oranları artarken, ADF ve NDF oranları azalmıştır.

Anahtar Kelimeler
