Abstract

The study was conducted to determine yield and some plant characteristics in some silage corn
varieties grown as the main product in Igdir province ecological conditions. The study was established to randomized
complete block design pattern with three replications in irrigating conditions. In this research, plant height (cm),
forage yield (t ha-1), fodder ratio (%), dry matter yield (t ha-1), leaf ratio (%), stem ratio (%), cob ratio (%), the
number of leaf (number/ plant), plant weight (g) were determined in 10 silage corn varieties. According to results;
plant height between 204.2 cm (OSSK-602) and 313.9 cm (OSSK-644), forage yield 60.5 t ha-1 (OSSK-602) and
110.5 t ha-1 (TK-6063), hay ratio 30.3% (OSSK-644) and 38.6% (TK-6063), hay yield 20.3 t ha-1 (OSSK-602) and
41.5 t ha-1 (TK-6063), ), leaf ratio 14.3% (OSSK- 596) and 18.3% (RX-9292), stem ratio 42.3% (Hido) and 51.0%
(OSSK-644), cob ratio 36.0% (OSSK-644) and 45.6% (OSSK-602), the number of leaf 11.0 (OSSK-602) and 13.3
g (TC-6063) plant weight 635.9 g (OSSK-602) and 1160.6 g (TK-6063) was found. As a result, TK-6063, Hido and
Shemall varieties has been found suitable for region ecology, respectively.

Bazı Silajlık Mısır Çeşitlerinin Verim ve Bitkisel Özelliklerinin Belirlenmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışma Iğdır ekolojik şartlarında ana ürün olarak yetiştirilen bazı silajlık mısır çeşitlerinin verim
ve bazı bitkisel özelliklerini belirlemek amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Araştırma, sulu koşullarda 3 tekerrürlü olarak
şansa bağlı tam bloklar deneme desenine göre kurulmuştur. Araştırmada, 10 silajlık mısır çeşidinin bitki boyu,
yeşil ot verimi, kuru ot oranı, kuru ot verimi, yaprak oranı, sap oranı koçan oranı, yaprak sayısı ve bitki ağırlığı
belirlenmiştir. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre, bitki boyu 204.2 cm (OSSK-602) ve 313.9 cm (OSSK-644), yaş ot
verimi 60.5 t ha-1 (OSSK-602) ve 110.5 t ha-1 (TK-6063), kuru ot oranı %30.3 (OSSK-644) ve %38.6 (TK-6063),
kuru ot verimi 20.3 t ha-1 (OSSK-602) ve 41.5 t ha-1 (TK-6063), ), yaprak oranı %14.3 (OSSK- 596) ve %18.3
(RX-9292), sap oranı %42.3 (Hido) ve %51.0 (OSSK-644), koçan oranı %36 (OSSK-644) ve %45.6 (OSSK-602),
bitkide yaprak sayısı 11.0 (OSSK-602) ve 13.3 (TC-6063) bitki ağırlığı 635.9 g (OSSK-602) and 1160.6 g (TK-
6063) arasında bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, bölge şartlarında en uygun mısır çeşitlerinin TK-6063, Hido ve Shemall
olduğu bulunmuştur
