Abstract :Some agronomic and nutritional characteristics of naturally grown Centaurea balsamita L. Which belongs to Asteraceae family were collected from three different regions of Konya City, Seydişehir District and Yalıhüyük District were investigated. Centaurea balsamita is a promising plant for future purposes of feeding activities owing to low production in put, easy harvesting and labor. The plant density, wet and dry weights of different plant parts and protein ratio were investigated. Trial was set up according to the Randomized Blocks Experimental Design, measurements and laboratory analyzes were carried out with the plants collected from 4 locations İn Çumra and Seydişehir districts and 3 from Yalıhüyük district, and their results were subjected to statistical analysis. The plant densities in these results were in the eastern part of Çumra with a maximum of 19.25 plants. South of Seydisehir showed a maximum height of 170.75 cm, plant wet weight was maximum by 376.00 gr value. In South of Seydişehir, plant dry weight was maximum by 240.75 gr value. South of Yalıhüyük, table wet weight was maxmum by 116.00 gr value while North of Seydişehir showed the weight was recorded to the south of Yalıhüyük with a maximum of 65.25 gr value and the protein ratio was found on the West of Çumra with a maximum of 13.34 % value at the hawthorn and from the South of Çumra with a maximum of 15.80 % value in the table. In this study, Centaurea balsamita crop and some agronomic characteristics were applied to the screw fitting were provided may be considered as a feed plant.
