Effects of Applying Nitrogen on Yield of Silage Maize Grown after Forage Legumes

Abstract

In a 2-year study, it was determined how winter planting
various forage legumes (Hungarian vetch, narbon vetch and forage pea) before
applying nitrogen (0, 5, 10, 15 and 20 kg N da-1) affected the yield
components of silage maize grown afterward. Fallow was applied for control
treatment. The results showed that among the forage legumes cultivated from
October to May, forage peas afforded the highest fresh weight (4279 kg da-1)
and the dry matter ratio (20.50%). However, narbon vetch affected all other
yield components of silage maize except dry matter ratio more positively than
the other legumes and increased the green yield by 30.3% compared yields
achieved in control plots. The dry matter ratio of silage maize was higher in
plots grown with Hungarian vetch and forage pea plots because of their later sowing
and harvest times. Later, applying nitrogen positively affected the green
yields of silage maize by up to 15 kg N da-1. Such results readily
apply to cultivating crops with high nitrogen demands (e.g., maize) in soils
with low organic matter content. It was concluded that narbon vetch as a
previous crop should be advised for silage maize and top-dressing of 15 kg N da-1
could be beneficial for increasing green
maize
yield.

Baklagil Yem Bitkilerinden Sonra Yetiştirilen Silajlık Mısırın Verimi Üzerine Azot Uygulamalarının Etkileri

Year 2020, Volume: 23 Issue: 2, 336 - 342, 30.04.2020

Abstract

İki
yıllık bu çalışmada, kışlık olarak ekilen farklı baklagil yem bitkileri (Macar
fiği, koca fiğ ve yem bezelyesi) ve azot uygulamalarının (0, 5, 10, 15 ve 20 kg
N da-1) daha sonra ekilen silajlık mısırın verim bileşenlerini nasıl
etkilediği belirlenmiştir. Nadas, kontrol uygulaması olarak kullanılmıştır.
Araştırma sonuçlarına göre ekim-mayıs ayları arasında yetiştirilen baklagil yem
bitkileri arasında en yüksek yaş ot verimi (4279 kg da-1) ve kuru
madde oranı (% 20.50) yem bezelyesinden elde edilmiştir. Bununla birlikte, koca
fiğ kuru madde oranı hariç silajlık mısırın tüm verim bileşenlerini diğer
baklagillerden daha olumlu etkilemiş ve kontrol parsellerine göre mısırın yeşil
ot verimini % 30,3 oranında arttırmıştır. Silajlık mısırın kuru madde oranı geç
ekilen ve hasat edilen Macar fiği ve yem bezelyesi parsellerinde daha yüksek
çıkmıştır. Azotlu gübre uygulaması, silajlık mısırın yeşil ot verimini 15 kg da-1'a
kadar olumlu etkilemiştir. Bu tür sonuçlar, organik madde seviyesi düşük ve N
talebi yüksek olan mısır gibi bitkilerin yetiştirilmesine uygun topraklar için
oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada, silajlık mısır için ön bitki olarak koca fiğin
tavsiye edilmesi gerektiği ve üst gübre olarak 15 kg N da-1
uygulamasının mısırın yeşil veriminin arttırılmasında yararlı olabileceği
sonucuna varılmıştır.
