Abstract :This study was conducted to determine some quality characteristics of Hungarian vetch "HV” intercropped with cereals (barley "B”, wheat "W” and triticale "T”) and with different seed rates (100:0 70:30, 60:40, 50:50 and 40:60%) at the flowering and milk dough stages during 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. The experiments were arranged in split plot design with four replications, main plots were cutting time, and sub plots were mixture ratios. Hungarian vetch + cereals mixtures were harvested based on cereal that flowering and milk dough stage. Hungarian vetch was harvested at flowering period and exact shape formation period of seeds in the bottom pods. In the study, Crude ash ratio, crude ash yield, Relative Feed Value (RFV), Relative Feed Quality (RFV) and K, P, Ca and Mg contents were determined. The highest crude ash ratio was determined alone Hungarian vetch. Crude ash yield was ranged between 44.91 (sole wheat) – 65.99 kg/da (60HV+40T%). K, P, Ca and Mg contents were ranged 2.47 – 3.09%, 0.366 – 0.419%, 0.11 – 1.31% and 0.09 – 0.27% respectively. According to two-year results, the suitable seeding ratios of Hungarian vetch + triticale and Hungarian vetch + barley 70:30% can be recommended in terms of hay yield.Keywords : Macar fiği, Tahıl, Karışık ekim, Yozgat, Kalite
