Özet: This study was conducted in the experimental fields of Field Crop Department of Agricultural. Faculty of Ege University in the growing season of 2011-2012. Effect of different harvesting stages (April, May, June, July and August) and f cutting rate (green shoot harvest at 50-100%) on the herbage yield and some other yield characteristics of Shrub-Medic (Medicago arborea L.) were tested in the experiment. The Experiment was arranged in a randomized complete block design with 3 replications. Some characteristics such as fresh herbage yield, fresh leaf ratio, fresh stem ratio, air dried hay content were determined. Results indicated that the highest fresh herbage yield (969 g plant-1), leaf rate of fresh herbage (75.8%) were obtained when five years old crops harvested at the rate of 50% in April.
