This research was carried out in the Field Crop Department, Tekirdağ Agriculture Faculty, and Plant Breeding Application and Research Centre, Trakya University, Turkey. The response of common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) seedlings to salt and available water level tolerance were compared for its water retention capability and the dry ma�er of shoots, root and shoot weights a�er 2 h incubation at 30°C and 1 h incubation at 105°C under the conditions of absence, as well as the presence of various levels of salinity and available water. Germination was not affected by the salinity and available water treatments. 1.35 dS/m salinity water treatment resulted in increasing the fresh weights of its shoot (1.179 g) and root (0.580 g), weights a�er 2 h incubation at 30°C (shoot: 0.0456 and root: 0.0325 g) and 1 h incubation at 105°C (shoot: 0.0104 g and root: 0.0073 g), water retention capability (0.0123 g) and dry ma�er (0.0236 g) of the shoot in seedlings. The highest fresh weight (root: 0.567 g and shoot: 1.113 g) and water retention capability (0.0112 g) were determined from capacity of the field.

The annual pruning of vineyards produces shoot and leaf residues that have traditionally been fed to sheep and goats. The aim of this work was to determine the forage and nutritive values of grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) leaves plus summer lateral shoots at grape harvest and two post-harvest dates. The study cultivars were Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, all grafted onto 5BB rootstocks. The leaves and summer lateral shoots were removed at the same time from each cultivar at three dates: grape harvest, 15 days post-harvest, and 30 days postharvest. No significant differences were seen between the cultivars in terms of their mean crude protein (CP ) were recorded at grape harvest. The potassium, calcium and iron contents ranged from 2.11-2.15, 3.86-3.92 and 0.036-0.038 g kg -1 respectively at all stages. The leaves plus summer lateral shoots of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon grapevine cultivars can be beneficially fed to sheep, goats and cattle in some viticultural regions of Turkey and other parts of the world.Additional key words: acid detergent fibre, mineral content, neutral detergent fibre, yield. Resumen Comunicación corta. Valores forrajeros y nutritivos de residuos de poda (hojas y brotes laterales de verano) de cuatro cultivares de vid (Vitis vinifera L.) en el momento de la cosecha y en dos fechas de postcosechaTradicionalmente, la poda anual de las vides (Vitis vinifera L.) produce residuos de brotes y hojas que sirven de alimento para las ovejas y cabras. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar los valores forrajeros y nutritivos de hojas de vides y brotes laterales de verano en el momento de la cosecha y después de la cosecha. Los cultivares estudiados fueron Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvignon Blanc y Sémillon, todos injertados en portainjertos 5BB. Se arrancaron simultánemente hojas y brotes laterales de todos los cultivares en tres fechas: recolección de uva, y 15 y 30 días tras la cosecha. No se observaron diferencias significativas entre cultivares, en ninguna de las tres fechas de muestreo, en las medias de los contenidos en proteína cruda (CP) (45,44-46,33 g kg -1 ), fibra cruda (CF) (37,12-37,50%), fibra detergente neutra (FDN) (324,63-324,87 g kg -1 ), fibra detergente ácida (FDA) (247,44-249,44 g kg -1 ), potasio (2,11-2,14 g kg -1 ), calcio (3,85-3,95 g kg -1 ) o hierro (0,037-0,038 g kg -1 ). Los mayores rendimientos de materia fresca (1.765,33 kg ha -1 ) y materia seca (DM) (610,67 kg ha -1 ) se obtuvieron con Sauvignon Blanc. Los rendimientos en materia fresca, DM, CP, CF, FDN y FDA difirieron significativamente en todas las fechas de muestreo. Los contenidos máximos de materia fresca (1.925,33 kg ha -1 ), DM (634,67 kg ha -1 ) y CP (61,67 g kg -1 ) se registraron en el momento de la recolección de la uva. Los contenidos en potasio, calcio y hierro variaron entre 2,11-2,15, 3,86-3,92 y 0,036-0,038 g kg -1 respectivamente en todos los muestreos. Las hojas y brotes laterales de verano de Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sauvigno...

This research was conducted between the years 1999-2002 in the experimental area of the Field Crops Department of Tekirdağ Agricultural Faculty in Turkey. The experiment was laid out in a randomized block design with three replications. Four alfalfa cultivars were used. Variance components, variance coefficients and heritability values were determined for morphological characters, herbage yield, dry matter yield and seed yield. The maximum main stem height (78.69 cm), main stem diameter (4.85 mm), leaflet width (0.93 cm), seeds/pod (6.57), herbage yield (75.64 t ha -1 ), dry matter yield (20.06 t ha -1 ) and seed yield (0.49 t ha -1 ) were obtained from the cultivar Marina. The leaflet length ranged from 1.65 to 2.08 cm and the raceme length from 3.15 to 4.38 cm in the alfalfa cultivars. The highest 1000-seed weights (2.42-2.49 g) were found in cultivars Marina and Sitel. The heritability values of main stem height, main stem diameter, leaflet length and width, leaf/stem ratio, racemes/main stem, raceme length, seeds/pod, 1000-seed weight, herbage yield, dry matter yield and seed yield were calculated as 91.0%, 97.6%, 81.8%, 88.8%, 90.4%, 28.3%, 99.0%, 99.2%, 88.0%, 97.2%, 99.6% and 95.4%, respectively.
