Abstract :The study was conducted in order to determine the forage yield and some quality characteristics of silage sorghum genotypes at different water stress levels in the Randomized Complete Block Design arranged in split plots under Konya ecolo-gical conditions in 2020. Three irrigation treatments insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I1: Full irrigation; I2: 75% of I1; I3: 50% of I1); and 14 silage sorghum genotypes supplied from other countries were used in this study, irrigation subjects formed the main parcels and the genotypes sub-plots. In the study, the lowest and highest values were; 4756 kg da-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I3);-6757 kg da-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I1); for green herbage yield; 1149 kg da-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I3);-2002 kg da-1 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I1); for dry matter yield, 8,1 % insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I1);-9,6% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I2); for crude protein, 33.3% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I2);- 34.5% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I1); for ADF ratio, 55% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I3);- 58.4% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I2); for NDF ratio and and cellulose ratio was determined as 25.6% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I3);-28.2% insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(I1); respectively. The genotypes used in the study, in which the efficiency of irrigation water use efficiency increased as water stress increa-sed, the lowest and highest dry matter yields were obtained from genotypes G-11 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(4214 kg da-1); and G-4 insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(6961 kg da-1);, respectively, while a total of 8 genoty-pes had higher green herbage yield values than the study average
