According to the earliest flowering, the earliest maturity, plant height, grain yield and biological yield, significant differences were determined among narbon vetch lines. The highest seed yield and biological yield were obtained with 303.2 kg/da in 2389 and with 801.8 kg/da in 2388 narbon vetch lines respectively.
