Determination of the effects of the use of different ratios of triticale as a support plant on seed production of hungary vetch

This study was conducted to determine the effect of different rates of triticale contribution as a support crop on Hungarian vetch seed production at Eskişehir Geçit Kuşağı Agricultural Research Institute in the 2021-2022 growing season. Akçalar variety of Hungarian vetch and Karma-2000 variety of triticale were used in the experiment. The experiment was conducted according to the randomized complete block design with 3 replications. In the study, triticale was mixed into Hungarian vetch at 7 different rates (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30%). In the research, plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod, thousand seed weight, biological yield, seed yield and straw yield were examined. Application of different rates of triticale had a statistically significant effect on all examined parameters. According to the research results, depending on the triticale ratios, plant height is 44.10-57.50 cm, number of pods per plant is 9.9-16.27, number of grains per pod is 4.33-5.67, thousand seed weight is 44.83-47.93 g, biological yield is 1651.7-5552.7 kg ha-1, seed yield varied between 189.2-730.5 kg ha-1, straw yield varied between 1460.8-4819.5 kg ha-1. As a result, it was determined that the addition of 10% triticale as a support crop was the most suitable result in Hungarian vetch seed production in Eskişehir ecological conditions.
