Effects of different fertilizers on forage and dry matter yield of hybrid corn cultivars

This research was conducted to determine the effects of different fertilizer treatments (F1, F2 and F3) on forage and dry matter yield of hybrid corn cultivars (C1, C2 and C3) in the years 2011 and 2012 under the ecological conditions of Eskipazar-Karabuk. The highest values of forage and dry matter yields were obtained from F2 and F3 fertilizer treatments in all three hybrid corn cultivars. When we consider the sums paid for the export of inorganic fertilizers and the negative effects of these inorganic fertilizers on human and environmental health, we may see that F3 fertilizer treatments would be preferable in the regions where corn is grown.
