Triticale (Triticosecale Wittmack) grown with legume has a better forage quality and greater yield potential than triticale grown alone. The objective of the study was to determine the suitable mixture rate of legume and triticale grown under the rainfed conditions in the northeast of Turkey. Field experiments, designed in a factorial randomized complete block with three replications, were carried out during 1998-1999 and 1999-2000 starting in the first week of November, 1998 and 1999. The highest dry matter yield (10.96 t ha-1) was obtained from the mixture including 50% Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) and 50% triticale (Triticosecale Wittmack). Decreasing the seed rate of triticale in mixtures decreased dry matter yield while it increased the crude protein concentration of the hay mixture. The mixtures of 50% grasspea line 38 (Lathyrus sativus L.) and 50% triticale (Triticosecale Wittmack) and 50% hairy vetch and 50% triticale produced the highest seed and crude protein yield. Similarly, 50% Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz.) and 50% triticale (Triticosecale Wittmack) mixture produced the highest crude fiber and ash yield. Pure hairy vetch (Vicia villosa Roth.) and grasspea line 38 (Lathyrus sativus L.) yielded the maximum amount of NO3- -N to soil, and the highest plant concentration of crude protein, respectively. The mixtures outyielded the pure sowings with respect to dry matter (RYT=1.58) and grain yield (RYT=1.76).
