Forage yield and some quality features of fodder pea (Pisum arvense L.)-canola (Brassica napus L.) mixtures

The study was carried out under waterless conditions in the farmer's land of Malkara-Tekirdağ Yörük Village for 2 years between 2019-2021. The experiment was set up in a randomized block design with 3 replications. Every year, 6 months before sowing, fertilization was made with 20 tons of burnt animal manure per hectare. In the study, herbage yield (t ha-1), hay yield (t ha-1), crude protein (%), crude fiber (%), ADF (%), NDF (%), Ca (%), Mg (%), K (%) and P ratios (%) of different fodder pea-canola mixtures (%100 fodder pea, %100 canola, %50 fodder pea+%50 canola, %75 fodder pea+%25 canola, %25 fodder pea+%75 canola) were determined. The highest herbage yield was determined in %100 fodder pea (8,0 t ha-1), hay yield in 25% canola+75% fodder pea mixture (1,82 t ha-1), crude protein ratio (19,93%) in %100 fodder pea, crude fiber ratio (29,45%), ADF (35,50%) and NDF ratio (46,60%), Ca ratio (2,03%), Mg ratio (0,66%) in %100 canola, K ratio (1,70%) in %100 fodder pea and 75% fodder pea+25% canola mixture.
