The L+B+T intercropping mixture had a higher yield and quality than the othersole perennial forages and intercropping mixture s, with the exception of sole lucerne.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:A field study was conducted to evaluate the yield and quality traits of sole lucerne (L), sole bromegrass (B),sole tall fescue (T), sole orchardgrass (O), sole ryegrass (R), and lucerne + bromegrass + tall fescue (L+B+T)and lucerne + bromegrass + tall fescue + orchardgrass + ryegrass (L+B+T+O+R) intercropping mixtures atthe GAP International Agricultural Research and Training Centre under the irrigated conditions during 2009,2010 , and 2011 in the Southeastern Turkey.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Dry matter yield (DMY), crude protein content (CPC), crudeprotein yield (CPY), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), dry digestible matter (DDM),dry matter intake (DMI) , total digestible nutrients (TDN), and relative fee d value (RFV) were determined inthis study .
💡
Conclusion & Impact:The L+B+T intercropping mixture had a higher yield and quality than the othersole perennial forages and intercropping mixture s, with the exception of sole lucerne.

Abstract
A field study was conducted to evaluate the yield and quality traits of sole lucerne (L), sole bromegrass (B),sole tall fescue (T), sole orchardgrass (O), sole ryegrass (R), and lucerne + bromegrass + tall fescue (L+B+T)and lucerne + bromegrass + tall fescue + orchardgrass + ryegrass (L+B+T+O+R) intercropping mixtures atthe GAP International Agricultural Research and Training Centre under the irrigated conditions during 2009,2010 , and 2011 in the Southeastern Turkey. Dry matter yield (DMY), crude protein content (CPC), crudeprotein yield (CPY), acid detergent fiber (ADF), neutral detergent fiber (NDF), dry digestible matter (DDM),dry matter intake (DMI) , total digestible nutrients (TDN), and relative fee d value (RFV) were determined inthis study . The L+B+T intercr opping mixture and sole lucerne provided higher yields than the other cropstested. Sole lucerne had higher protein and quality contents than the other sole perennial forages andintercropping m ixtures . The L+B+T intercropping mixture had a higher yield and quality than the othersole perennial forages and intercropping mixture s, with the exception of sole lucerne.
