Abstract :This research was conducted under irrigated conditions, between May and September 1999. The experiment was arranged in the \\\"randomised complete blocks design\\\" with 3 replications at Konya Rural Affairs Research Institute\\\'s field. In the research Broomcorn population was used as the experimental material. Sowing date was 3rd May 1999 and harvest was made in 16th September 1999. Maximum green forage and hay yield were obtained in row width of 15 cm (96607 ton/ha and 30944 ton/ha, respectively). Maximum stem diameter (1.20 cm) was determined in row width of 45 cm. Maximum plant (139.08 g) and stem weight (117.73 g/plant) were obtained in row width of 30 cm. It was found some significant relationships between some of the yield components.
