Abstract :
In the study, the effects of pre-soaking time (control, 6, 12 and 24 h), temperature (18, 22 and 24 ° C), irrigation time and frequency (5 sec 15 min ^-1, 10 sec 30 min ^-1, 20 sec 60 min^ -1, 40 sec120 min ^-1, 80 sec 120 min ^-1, 120 sec 120 min^ -1) with lightening time and color (white, violet and yellow – 24 h, white – 16 h and white – 20 h) applications on green fodder yields, dry matter and crude protein percentages, dry matter and crude protein yields and losses were investigated. According to the results of this research, the highest green fodder yields (39690 and 38990) were obtained from 40 sec 120 min ^-1 and 20 sec 60 min ^-1 irrigation time and frequency applications and, 24 h - White lightening time and color applications. The highest values of dry matter yields were obtained from 24 h pre-soaking time and 24 ºC temperature applications (respectively 5870 and 6010). The highest values of crude protein yields were obtained from 24 ºC temperature applications and all irrigation frequency and time applications except 10 sec 30 min^ -1. The highest values of dry matter and crude protein yields could be achieved with 24 h pre-soaking time, 24 º C temperature, all irrigation frequency and time applications except 10 sec 30 min ^-1, and all lightening time and color applications combination.
