The Determination of Botanical Properties of Forage Kochia Population Grown in Konya Conditions

Adverse soil and environmental factors cause a decrease in pasture yield our country. Shrub species are given importance breeding studies carried out order to increase the marginal pastures world. Forage kochia (Kochia prostrata), which is naturally growing semi-shrub Turkey's flora, shows tolerance adverse climatic conditions. This research was established Konya October 2017 according Randomized Complete Block Design with 4 replications. In research, morphological values of forage populations collected from 5 different locations (i.e., Karapınar Kartal Kayaları, Bahri Dağdaş I.A.R.I, Campus Beltway-Selçuklu, Ardıçlı Rural- Selçuklu, S.U.F.A. Kochia Demonstration Garden) were examined during 2018-2019. We investigated blooming time (Scoring), plant height (cm), canopy diameter number branch, stem (mm), shape habitus leaf length width color anther stigma fodder per (g) hay (g). this study, Beltway- Selçuklu Population (3P) bloomed earliest area between end August early September (Score 5,36). Among showing semi-decumbent 7,05-7,63) Kayaları (1P) had highest potential regarding 46,63 cm), 50,50 112 g), 45,28 g). line findings obtained while stand terms components. These results show us that each population valuable gene resource for improvement.
