Summary
The cultivation of forage legumes, particularly vetches, is described with reference to the conditions of cultivation in Turkey. The uses of vetches are outlined and the problems of cultivation highlighted. Experiments to improve legume yields and those of subsequent cereal crops are also discussed.
