Abstract :The research was carried out in 1995 in order to find out effects of plant densities and harvesting times on root yield of forage turnip (Brassica rapa L.) cv. Polybra grown as a second crop in the ecological conditions of Konya. In this research, row spacings were 20, 30, 40 and 50 cm, harvesting times were taken as October, November and begining of December. The highest root yield was obtained at 40 cm row spacing (6657.86 kg/da). There was no statistical difference among harvesting times. The corelation between row spacings and root yield, row spacings and root lenght, row spacings and root diameter, root diameter and root lenght, root diameter. and root yield and between root lenght and root yiled, were all positive.
