Abstract:

 In this study, the yield and quality of Italian ryegrass and tef plant were compared according to their sowing at different times, and the potential of using tef plant instead of Italian ryegrass, whose development slows down especially during the hot summer period, was revealed. This study was conducted in 2020 to determine the herbage yield and quality of tef and Italian ryegrass sown at different times as summer crops under Konya conditions. The experiment was established according to the randomized block design with 3 replications. Italian ryegrass and two tef plant cultivars were sown at three different times on May 1, June 1 and July 1. As a result of the study, plant height 75.4  84.6 cm, stem thickness 1.70  2.15 mm, green grass yield 5152.2  7555.8 kg da1, dry grass yield 1458.6  2390.7 kg da1, dry matter rate 25.98  32.14, dry matter yield 1335.0  2176.2 kg da1, crude protein rate 6.12  8.55, crude protein yield 108.3  149.7 kg da1 in tef; plant height 35.9  88.9 cm, stem thickness 2.44  3.73 mm, green grass yield 739.2  4604.2 kg da1, dry grass yield 221.4  952.6 kg da1, dry matter rate 14.73  30.13, dry matter yield 221.4  952.6 kg da1da, crude protein rate 9.45  11.19, crude protein yield 20.9  149.7 kg da1 in Italian ryegrass. As a result of the study, tef, which is a warm climate plant, yielded more than Italian ryegrass in terms of green grass, dry matter and crude protein in summer sowing dates under Central Anatolian conditions. The crude protein ratios of Italian ryegrass varieties were higher than the crude protein ratios of tef varieties. It was determined that summer sowing was not suitable for Italian ryegrass cultivars used in the study. In Central Anatolian conditions, Tef plant reaches harvest maturity within 55-65 days after sowing. In Central Anatolian conditions, tef can be mowed twice and give a good yield even when sown on July 1 as a second crop. It would be appropriate to conduct similar studies with more tef varieties.

 Bu çalışmada mevcutta ekimi yapılan İtalyan çimi ile yeni bir bitki olan tef bitkisinin farklı zamanlarda ekimlerine göre verim ve kalitelerinin kıyaslanması, özellikle sıcak yaz döneminde gelişimi yavaşlayan İtalyan çimi yerine tef bitkisinin kullanılabilme potansiyeli araştırılmıştır. Bu çalışma Konya koşullarında yazlık olarak farklı zamanlarda ekilen tef ve İtalyan çiminin ot verim ve kalitesinin belirlenmesi amacıyla 2020 yılında yapılmıştır. Deneme tesadüf blokları deneme desenine göre 3 tekerrürlü olarak kurulmuştur. Çalışmada iki İtalyan çimi çeşidi ve iki tef bitkisi çeşidi üç farklı zamanda 1 Mayıs, 1 Haziran ve 1 Temmuz ekilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda, tef bitkisinde bitki boyu 75.4  84.6 cm, sap kalınlığı 1.70  2.15 mm, yeşil ot verimi 5152.2  7555.8 kg da1, kuru ot verimi 1458.6  2390.70 kg da1, kuru madde oranı 25.98  32.14, kuru madde verimi 1335.0  2176.2 kg da1, ham protein oranı 6.12  8.55, ham protein verimi 108.3  149.7 kg da1 arasında; İtalyan çiminde bitki boyu 35.9  88.9 cm, sap kalınlığı 2.44  3.73 mm, yeşil ot verimi 739.2  4604.2 kg da1, kuru ot verimi 243.3  1040.9 kg da1, kuru madde oranı 14.7330.13, kuru madde verimi 221.4952.6 kg da1, ham protein oranı 9.45  11.19 ve ham protein verimi 20.9  102.3 kg da1 arasında bulunmuştur. Çalışma sonucunda; Orta Anadolu koşullarında yazlık ekim tarihlerinde, sıcak iklim bitkisi olan tef yeşil ot, kuru ot, kuru madde ve ham protein açısından İtalyan çiminden daha fazla verim vermiştir. İtalyan çimi çeşitlerinin ham protein oranları ise tef çeşitlerinin ham protein oranlarından daha yüksek bulunmuştur. Serin iklim bitkisi olan ve çalışmada kullanılan İtalyan çimi çeşitleri için ise yazlık ekimlerin uygun olmadığı tespit edilmiştir. Tef bitkisi Orta Anadolu koşullarında ekimden 55-65 gün içerisinde ot için biçim olgunluğuna gelmiştir. Tef bitkisi Orta Anadolu koşullarında ikinci ürün olarak 1 Temmuzda ekildiğinde bile iki kez biçilebilmekte ve iyi bir verim verebilmektedir. Daha fazla tef çeşidi ile benzer çalışmaların yapılması uygun olacaktır.
