Abstract
Vetch is one of the most widespread annual legume cultivated in our country. This research was conducted to determine seed yields and to observe important characteristics of 3 winter vetch species (Vicia spp.) in Ankara conditions from 1996-1998. Common vetch (Vicia sativa) , Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica) and hairy vetch (Vicia villosa), grown for seed and hay in Central Anatolia, were sown in autumn and grown using standard agricultural practices. The study incorporated a randomized plot design with 3 replications. The following results were obtained: plant height achieved, 104.00-140.85cm; number of branch, 2.85-3.76; days to flowering, 146-153; first pod height, 58.1–71.5cm; number of pods per plant, 16.78-29.51; number of seed per pod, 4.2-5.8; pod length, 2.64-5.00cm; seed yield, 126.35–162.53 kg/da; thousand seed weight, 39.77- 44.54g; harvest index, 24.30-28.05%.
