Abstract:
It is known that amaranths, which are preferred for different purposes (as vegetable, grain, ornamental and fodder crop), have high tolerance to extreme climate and soil conditions. However, in Turkey, there is no study to evaluate the hay yield performances of amaranth species used for feed in irrigated and dry conditions. With the present study, the performances of varieties (Sterk, Helios and Ultra) belonging to different amaranth species in terms of hay yield characteristics (plant height, stem thickness, number of leaf per plant, fresh and dry herbage yields, dry herbage rate, leaf, stem and panicle ratios) in irrigated and dry conditions were tried to be determined. For this purpose, in 2017 and 2018, a study with 3 replications was established according to split plot experimental design on completely randomized blocks. As a result of the study, plant height, stem thickness, leaf number, leaf ratio, fresh herbage and hay yields were found to be higher in irrigated conditions, but dry herbage rate, stem and panicle ratios in dry conditions. In terms of varieties, the highest fresh and dry herbage yields were determined in Sterk variety, following the Helios variety. In addition, it was revealed that Sterk and Helios varieties had a considerable amount of fresh and dry herbage yields in dry conditions. As a result, it has been concluded that it would be appropriate to grow the Sterk variety under irrigated conditions for high forage yields.
