Abstract

This research was concluded under dryland condition in Thrace region in 1994-1995 growing season. This experiment was arranged in randomised block design with three replications. Yield and some important yield components (plant height, number of pods per plant, number of seeds per pod and 1000 seed weight) were determined. According to the results, it can be concluded that the best sowing rate and row distance of chickling vetch for the region are $100\;seed/\textrm{m}^2$ and 20 cm, respectively.
