Abstract :This study was carried out to determine yield and quality values of various annual ryegrass varieties genotypes. Five annual ryegrass and four genotypes improved at Aegean Agricultural Research Institute were used. Experiments were conducted at Institute’s trial fields in 2020 and 2021. According to data combined over-years, differences between dry matter yields of genotypes were found to be statistically important. Dry matter yields ranged between 15 500-18 930 kg/ha. In terms of quality parameters, differences were also significant. The values were 16.1- 19.5% for protein contents, 31.7-34.7% for ADF and 47.8-51.9% for NDF. It was determined that annual ryegrass genotypes showed good performances at Aegean conditions.Keywords : ADF, , dry matter yield, , lolium multiflorum, , NDF, , Protein, , Ryegrass
