Determination the effect of seed rates and tillage methods on yield and quality of hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica crantz) in yozgat conditions

This study was carried out to determine yield and some quality features of Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz) under no-tillage, reduced tillage and conventional tillage systems and different seed ratios in Yozgat ecological conditions during 2015 and 2016 seasons. As plant material 'Beta' variety of Hungarian vetch was used. The experiment was arranged in Split Plots Design with three replications. Average real plant height, natural plant height, fresh herbage yield, dry herbage yield, crude protein ratio, ADF and NDF ratios, seed yield, seed crude protein ratio and yield values in the first and second year were investigated. Over the years; average real plant height was 93.84 cm, 94.01 cm, 93.32cm and, natural plant height was 63.88 cm, 54.26 cm, 54.81 cm and, fresh forage yield was 25.67 t/ha, 27.07 t/ha, 27.60 t/ha, and, dry forage yield was 6.92 t/ha, 7.10 t/ha, 7.36 t/ha, seed yield 1.68 t/ha, 1.69 t/ha, 1.58 t/ha respectively for no-tillage, reduced tillage and conventional tillage systems. P, K, Ca and Mg contents in all treatments have been found in sufficient level in both years.
