Abstract :The study was conducted to determine the effect of different levels of phosphorus on the forage yield and yield traits of some Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) culitvars. The experiment was set up using a Split Plot Experimental Design in Randomized Blocks with three replications in the Research Area of Dicle University Bismil Vocational School. The analysis indicated that phosphorus doses had a statistically significant impact (P<0.05) on some important traits. Due to the effect of the phosphorus doses, the examined traits displayed values within the following ranges: days to flowering (153.3-169.3 days), natual plant height (45.67-67.00 cm), main stem length (75.33-131.33 cm), main stems per plant (2.67-4.33), main stem thickness (1.77-2.17 mm), fresh forage yield (21.29-39.34 t ha-1), and dry forage yield (5.86-10.39 t ha-1). The research results revealed that the Kansur cultivar was more productive in terms of forage yield in Diyarbakır conditions. Additionally, there was no statistical significant difference in forage yield traits among the 30 kg ha⁻¹, 60 kg ha⁻¹, and 90 kg ha⁻¹ phosphorus dose treatments. Aditionally, forage yield obtained from these phosphorus dose treatments was higher than that of the control (0 dose) treatment, which recieved no phosphorus application.
