Determination of Seed Yield, Straw Yield and Straw Quality of Some Hungarian Vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) Genotypes

Abstract

The study was carried out for 3 years in 2014, 2015 and 2016 in order to determine the seed and straw yields and straw quality of some Hungarian vetch genotypes. In the study, 10 Hungarian vetch genotypes were used as plant material. The research was set up in a randomized block design with three replications. In the research; seed yield, straw yield, thousand grain weight, crude ash rate, crude protein rate and yield, acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), digestible dry matter (DDM) and dry matter intake (DMI) ratios, and relative feed value (RFV) of Hungarian vetch genotypes were evaluated. It was determined that the differences between the genotypes in terms of all the characteristics discussed in all three years of the experiment were statistically very significant. According to the result of three years of the experiment; it was determined that the seed yield of Hungarian vetch genotypes varied between 35.4-126.7 kg/da, straw yield between 463.2-1110.0 kg/da, thousand seed weight between 25.32-43.23 g, crude ash rate between 5.30-12.49%, crude protein rate between 7.04-15.01%, crude protein yield between 36.10-154.43 kg/da, ADF rate between 29.28-49.72%, NDF rate between 44.18-63.64%, DDM rate between 50.17-66.09%, DMI rate between 1.88-2.73% and RFV between 73.52-134.64%. According to the results of the research, it is seen that Anadolu Pembesi variety is superior in terms of yield, and Oğuz, Ağrı Population and Hat-5 genotypes in terms of quality compared to other genotypes in Bingöl conditions.
