Abstract
This research was conducted to determine the effects of dynamic irrigation program on corn silage quality. Different irrigation intervals (3, 6 and 9 days) and irrigation water levels (0.75, 1.00 and 1.25 times) were applied in the study. At the end of the research, the differences created by the dynamic irrigation program in silage quality parameters crude protein, crude ash, dry matter, ADF, NDF) were found to be significant (5% significance level). Crude protein ratios varied between 6.09-8.25%, crude ash ratios between 3.41-5.96%, dry matter ratios between 26.06-34.65%, Acid Detergent Fiber (ADF) ratios between 20.10-25.13% and Neutral Detergent Fiber (NDF) ratios between 33.66-38.09%. In corn production under similar conditions (climate, soil and variety), it was thought that it would be beneficial to apply 1.25 times the value of 6-day cumulative evapotranspiration (ETo) corrected with the crop coefficient (Kc) in Balıkesir-Manyas climate and clay-loam soil conditions in order to reach high values in crude protein, which is the main silage quality parameter.
