Özet: This research was conducted to determining yield and agronomical characteristics on some cultivars of chicory ( Cichorium intybus L.) during growing seasons of 2017- 2018 in Ondokuz May University, Faculty of Agriculture, Field Crops Department experimental area. This research conducted with randomized block design with three replications. Forage mixtures comprised combinations of alfalfa, white clover, red clover, birdsfood trefoil, perennial ryegrass and orchard grass along with chicory as pure stand, simple mixtures (2 species) and multi mixtures (3 species). All plots were cutting by a hand forage clipper in bud stage in the establishment year of 2017 and 2018. The highest hay yield of the mixture was determined on red clover+orchard grass+chicory with 2562.8 kg/da and red clover+perennial ryegrass+chicory with 1668.6 kg/da in 2017 and 2018, respectively. The average crude protein, ADF, NDF ratio and RFV value of the pastures in 2017 were determined 18.6%, 27.8%, 39.5% and 160.1, respectively. In 2018, the average crude protein, ADF, NDF ratio and RFV value of the pastures were determined 21.6%, 21.5%, 35.6% and 189.4, respectively. The findings of this study indicate that the mixture of red clover+orchard grass+chicory and red clover+ perennial ryegrass+chicory are suggested in similar ecological conditions.
