    Alfalfa seed producfion and its problems in Turkey
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 1987) Çelik, Necmettin; Ziraat Fakültesi
    This article has been prepared to account for the current state of alfalfa seed production, production problems and their solutions in Turkey. There are two best known ecotypes, Kayseri and the oriental (Şark) alfalfas. These are grown mainly in Central and Eastern Anatolia regions. In recent years, however, two cultivars, Peru and Mesa-Sirsa are being widely grown on the Coastal regions. Alfalfa seed is domestically obtained from Kayaeri and Şark alfalfas in all regions except Marmara. But within the regions, the best ecology for seed production of alfalfa is found in Central and Eastern Anatolia. In general, alfalfa seed is realized on the fields established especially for hay porpose. Seed production indicates fluctuations among the years. By 1965, some of the produced seed has been exported to , but then whole production has become used domeatically. There are serious problems at every stage of seed culture of alfalfa and concequently very low yields. A great portion of the produced seed contains weed seed, dodder and other foreign particles. For this reason, it is very difficult for alfalfa growers to find pure and certified seed at market. In order to solve problems of seed production, a large scale research should be initiated, giving priority to dodder, and results transferred to alfalfa growers immidiatly. In addition, growers must be supported with economic aids of government. Furthermore, public organizations must diatribute certified seed and control the seed standardization .

    Performance of some forage rape cultiv ars in Bursa province of Turkey
    (Uludağ Üniversitesi, 1987) Açıkgöz, Esvet; Turan, Z. Metin; Çelik, Necmettin; Ziraat Fakültesi; Tarla Bitkileri Bölümü
    The main aim of this study was to find out the growing possibilities and to determine forage and protein yields of six forage rape cultivars during winter and early spring seasons in Bursa region. The cultiuars showed outstanding spring vigor and yielded good herbage during two experimental years. The cv. 's Bishop and Semu-81 were consistantly superior than the others in hay yield. Also, the highest crude protein yield was produced by cv. Bilhop. This study clearly showed that forage rapes can be grown successfully as a catch crop for pasture or silage purposes during winter and early spring in Bursa province.
