Abstract :The objective of this research was to determine the forage yield, quality and physiological properties of mixtures of common vetch insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Vicia sativa L.); with triticale insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(×Triticosecale Wittmack); and annual ryegrass insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Lolium moltiflorum); grown as intermediate winter crop system under the conditions of Southern Marmara Region. Forage yield, light interception, leaf area index, crude protein content, crude protein yield, ADF and NDF contents were measured. The highest forage yield insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(15.21 t ha-1); was obtained from 50% common vetch + 50% triticale mixture which was followed by 75% common vetch + 25% triticale, 25% common vetch + 75% triticale, 25% common vetch + 75% annual ryegrass mixtures.The results of two-year averages indicated that the 75% common vetch + 25 % triticale mixturewas the best one for good quality and higher forage yield, and its suitability wasrecommended for the experimental ecology.
