Abstract
fodder yield (t ha-1), dry matter yield (t ha-1), crude protein (%) and fiber (%) were determined at the three growing stages such as ? bloom, ? bloom and full-bloom. It is concluded that green fodder yield (9.79-9.97 t ha-1) and dry matter yield (2.49-2.62 t ha-1) in the ? bloom and full-bloom stages were determined to be higher than in the rest of the stage. Quality is high if the crop is cut in the ? bloom stage. According to yield and other components, the blue melilot can be sown and cutting at ? bloom, ? bloom and full-bloom stages in the western of Turkey as well as in subtropical conditions.
Key words: blue melilot, dry matter, green fodder, growth stage, Melilotus caerulea (L.) Desr.
