Abstract :This study was conducted to determine some quality characteristics of Hungarian vetch (HV), common vetch (CV) and forage pea (FP) intercropping with barley (B) and triticale (T) in ecological condition of Yozgat during the 2012-2013 and 2014-2015 growing seasons. Plants were grown as monocrop and legumes + cereals mixtures with two different seeding rates (75:25 and 50:50% respectively). The experiment was set up as two different experiment and the plots were harvested on the basis of cereals that inflorescence in the first experiment and milk dough stage in the second experiment. The experiment was arranged in randomized blocks design with three replications. Crude protein yield, ADF, NDF, Ca, P, K, Mg content with Ca/P and K/Ca+Mg rates were investigated. The highest crude protein yield at the first experiment and both years were determined 50HV+50B% (166.03–144.73 kg/da legume:cereals) and 75HV+25B% (162.70–139.93 kg/da respectively) plots; in the second experiment highest values obtained from 100FP% (145.60–166.37 kg/da respectively) and 50HV+50B% (154.17–155.53 kg/da respectively) plots. According to two years results, ADF and NDF rates were ranged between 25.74-36.53%, 43.66-67.67% and 32.33-39.24%, 44.52-70.32% respectively. Mineral nutrients in all treatments were found within the livestock requirement limits.As a result, Hungarian vetch + barley mixtures can be used in Yozgat ecological conditions and, it is suggested that seeding ratios should be 50:50% and 75:25% for early harvested and 50:50% for late harvest.Keywords : Yozgat, Baklagil, Tahıl, Karışık ekim, Kalite
