Determination of Forage Yield and Some Quality Characteristics of Silage Sorghum Genotypes at Different Water Stress Levels. Selcuk Journal of Agriculture and Food Sciences, 36(1), 1-7.

Three irrigation treatments (I1: Full irrigation; I2: 75% of I1; I3: 50% of I1) and 14 silage sorghum genotypes supplied from other countries were used in this study, irrigation subjects formed the main parcels and the genotypes sub-plots. In the study, the lowest and highest values were; 4756 kg da-1 (I3)-6757 kg da-1 (I1) for green herbage yield; 1149 kg da-1 (I3)-2002 kg da-1 (I1) for dry matter yield, 8,1 % (I1)-9,6% (I2) for crude protein, 33.3% (I2)- 34.5% (I1) for ADF ratio, 55% (I3)- 58.4% (I2) for NDF ratio and and cellulose ratio was determined as 25.6% (I3)-28.2% (I1) respectively. The genotypes used in the study, in which the efficiency of irrigation water use efficiency increased as water stress increased, the lowest and highest dry matter yields were obtained from genotypes G11 (4214 kg da-1 ) and G-4 (6961 kg da-1 ), respectively, while a total of 8 genotypes had higher green herbage yield values than the study average.en10.15316/SJAFS.2022.001info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessClimate ChangeDroughtWater StressForage CropsSorghumArticle36117
