EFFECTS OF NITROGEN FERTILIZATION RATES ON FORAGE YIELD AND QUALITY OF ANNUAL RYEGRASS (LOLIUM MULTIFLORUM L.) IN CENTRAL BLACK SEA CLIMATIC ZONE IN TURKEY

Selahattin ÇINAR

In this research, we aimed to determine the effects of nitrogen fertilization on forage yield and forage quality of annual ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum L.) in Kazova, Tokat/Turkey conditions (the Central Black Sea Climate Zone) in 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 growing years. The experiment consisted of four replications in randomized complete block design to test effect of seven nitrogen rates (0, 50, 100, 150, 200, 250, 300 kg ha(-1)) on plant height (PH), fresh forage yield (FFY), dry matter yield (DMY), crude protein ratio (CP), crude protein yield (CPY), Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) ratio, Neutral ...Более
