Title
Determination of Optimum Seed Sowing Time for Six Different Sorghum Cultivars in Purpose of Silage Production in Mediterrenean Coastline
Abstract
Six different sorghum cultivars (Gözde 80, Rox, Leoti, Early Sumac, Nes ve N 4692xRox), registered by Mediterreanean Agricultural Research Institute, were sown in different periods in order to determine the optimum sowing time. The experiment was conducted in a split plot design with three replications. Count of 50% blooming days, count of full blooming days, forage yield, dry matter production, and leaf-stem-bunch ratio were determined. The Rox cultivar comes to number one since the enhance of green foliage have been demanded. The dry matter production having been evaluated as the most important property in terms of slage quality and production. Nest comes to fore at the first and second and at fourth Rox, at fifth period Gözde 80, respectively. The first week of May was determined to be optimum time compared to other seed sowing period in view of the climatic conditions data of year, on which the experiments were conducted and the pronounced performance of cultivars within other different seedsowing time
