%0 Journal Article %T Determination of Botanical Composition as Well as Hay Yield and Quality in Different Aspects of Rangelands at the Tek Tek Mountains in £¿anl£¿urfa %A G£¿khan AKKAYA %J - %D 2018 %X This study was conducted to determine botanical composition, hay yield and quality in different aspects of rangelands at the Tek Tek Mountains in £¿anl£¿urfa. By using Point Framework method in study, while the average length of rangeland plants determined as to be 73.96 cm, the highest plant height (83.10 cm) was obtained from the west aspect of the rangeland. While the average of hay yield was 184.32 kg da-1, the highest hay yield was obtained from the west aspect of the rangeland as 232.25 kg da-1. The ratios of grasses, legumes and other family plants in the botanical composition based on the weight were determined as 69.80%, 10.61% and 19.56% respectively. Crude protein content of hay changed between 6.01% and 8.60% and crude protein yield 12.01 and 13.60 kg da-1 as depending on the aspect. Grazing capacity of the rangeland was calculated as 40.96 AU. 51 plant species were also identified in the study area. The averaged values of coverage areas of the dominant species over the aspect were as follows; 18.83% for Avena fatua, % 10.47 for Trifolium setellatum, 8.47% for Poa bulbosa, 7.78% for Bromus inermis, 4.42% for Trifolium scabrum, respectively. The highest quality grade obtained from the west aspect of the rangeland condition for this aspect of the rangeland was determined as poor %K Mera %K Y£¿ney %K Nokta Y£¿ntemi %K Kuru Ot verimi %K Ot kalitesi %U http://dergipark.org.tr/harranziraat/issue/37580/338826
