Abstract :This research was carried out in Konya between July 1995 and October 1995 to look at searching the effect of plant densities on yield and yield components of Turnip \\\"polybra\\\" cultivar as a second crop with different row distances (20, 30, 40 and 50 cm) under irrigated conditions. In this research, fresh tuber and green leaf yield, tuber lenght, tuber diameter, number of leaves per plant, dry matter yield, leaf / tuber ratio, crude protein ratio and crude protein yield were determined in \\\"Randomized Blocks\\\" design with 3 replications. The Turnip seeds obtained from a privite seed Co. were planted on July, 27 and harvested on October. 27, 1995. The highest values green leaf yield, dry matter yield of leaf and crude protein yield were obtained from the plots planted with40 cm distances (5124.70 kg/da, 481.55 kg/da and 94.60 kg/da), whereas the highest fresh tuber yield and tuber dry matter yield were harvested from the plots planted with 50 cm row distances (6166.60 kg/da and 519.68 kg/da).
