This study was conducted under Bursa ecological conditions during second
crop season. Bora, DK626, Luce and Sincero varieties were used as plant material in
this study. Field experiments were conducted with randomized complete block design
with three replications. In the research, some characters as dry matter yield, leaf
ratio, stem ratio, cop ratio, crude protein ratio, crude protein yield, ADF and NDF
were determined. The highest dry matter yield (1930.0 kg da-1), crude protein ratio
(7.61%) and crude protein yield (147.45 kg da-1) and the lowest NDF content
(50.52%) was determined in Sincero variety. According to the results, Sincero variety
was suggested as second crop under Bursa and similar ecological conditions.
