and NDF (Neutral Detergent Fiber) values was found. The highest water consumption efficiency was 4.38 kg/da-mm in I100 irrigation and 3.37 kg/damm in I35 irrigation. In addition, thecorrelation coefficient between ET, dry matter and protein amount was r2:0.81** and r2:0.80**, and a statistically significant positive relationship was observed (p
