Abstract :
This study was carried out to determine the mineral substances such as macro and micro minerals of legume and cereal forages grown as naturally in the pastures of Erzurum province. In present study, clover, (Medicago sativa), mountain hispanic sainfoin (Hedysarum elegans), bird vetch (Vicia cracca), hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), mountain vetch (Vicia alpestris), mountain clover (Trifolium montanum), caucasian clover (Trifolium ambiguum), the three-headed clover (Trifolium trichocephalum), tawny grass crown (Coronilla varia), the crown of the eastern horn of grass (Coronilla orientatis) and yellow flowers gazelle (Lotus corniculatus) from legume forages; cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata), crested wheatgrass (Agropyron cristatum), red fescue (Festuca rubra), sheep ball (Festuca ovina), tawny bromine (Bromus variegatus), blue split (Agropyron intermedium), kelp tail grass (Phleum pratense), meadow bluegrass (Poa pratensis) from cereal forages were investigated. The obtained data were subjected to an analysis of variance by using SPSS 12.0 package program. Significant differences between means were tested by using Duncan’s Multiple Range Test.Macro minerals such as Nitrogen (N), Phosphorus (P), Potassium (K), Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg) and Sulfur (S) assigned for legume forages changed between 2.39- 3.30%, 1.16-1.28%, 0.70-2.69%, 0.56-1.61%, 0.11-0.51% and 0.16-0.27%, respectively. The amounts of micro mineral like Iron (Fe), Virgin (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Manganese (Mn) and Boron (B) of legume forages were determined to be 105.9-893.7 ppm, 2.22-12.36 ppm, 14.11-195 ppm, 18.18-66.58 ppm and 5.91-40.39 ppm, respectively. Instances of macro minerals of cereal forages were found for N 1.76-of 2.19%, P 1.10-1.19%, K 1.99-3.25%, Ca 0.09-1.15%, Mg 0.07-0.26% and S 0.22-0.36% in present study. Micro minerals such as Fe, Cu, Zn, Mn and B determined for cereal forages changed between 74.90-630.6 ppm, 4-9.84 ppm, 31.49-335.6 ppm, 24.63-94.51 ppm and 0.35-26.64 ppm, respectively.In conclusion, present study carried out to determine the macro and micro mineral contents of legume and cereal forages grown as naturally showed that differences in terms of macro and micro minerals among both legume forages and cereal forages were significant.
