Abstract :Livestock farm need forage crops that have high yields and good nutritional value per unit area. One of the plants that can contribute to covering this need is ryegrass. The yield and nutritional values of yyegrass vary according to cultivars, regions, and seasons. In the present study, the purpose was to determine the effects of mowing time and cultivars on the nutritional value of yyegrass. The trial was conducted under Konya conditions in 2017 with 3 replications according to the randomized blocks trial design. According to the results of the study, main stem length was found to be 45.9-51.4 cm, main stem diameter was 2.07-3.07 mm, the number of leaves on the main stem was 3.8-4.3, leaf length was 31.3-36.1 cm, leaf width was 5.8-6.8 mm, green grass yield was 5303-6166 kg da–1, and dry substance yield ranged between 989 and 1157 kg/da. Although a difference was detected between the characteristics that were examined, it was not found to be statistically significant. More studies are needed to confirm the study findings.Keywords : Humic acid, organic fertilizer, ryegrass, seaweed, yield
