Title Of Article :
Exchange of the Botanical Composition and Hay Yield at Rangelands of Different Aspects and Altitudes of Bingol Yelesen-Dikme Villages
Abstract :
This, study was conducted to compare four different aspects and three altitudes of rangelands for determination the botanical composition and hay yield in Yelesen-Dikme villages, center-Bingol in 2012 and 2013. In the research; plant cover of the range vegetations was 68.19%, the highest ratio of plant cover area was determined in the north aspect and plant covered area ratio decreases height increase. Percentages of grasses, legumes and other family plants in the botanical composition were 17.39%, 21.09% and 61.52% respectively. The highest similarity coefficients were determined between north-west aspects (51.91%) and second-third altitudes (47.18%). The mean green herbage yield and hay yield were determined 546.64 kg/da and 143.54 kg/da. Percent contributions of grasses, legumes and other family plants of the hay yield were 20.60%, 21.85% and 57.55% respectively. Study results, improvement and management works must be carried out on this pasture area.
