Common vetch (Vicia sativa L.) is a single-year legume feed plant, grown in plant-animal production systems for grass and grain purposes in many parts of the world, and is widely used in the feeding of farm animals. Turkey is the genetic center of common vetch and 59 of the existing species are naturally present in the Turkish vegetation. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of nitrogenous fertilizer on plant and the appropriate dose of nitrogenous fertilizer and to investigate the effect of plant growth, yield, amount of N uptake by the plant, which is Rhizobium bacterial inoculation. Experiment was carried in controlled greenhouse conditions and used ʻTamkoc 2000ʼ variety of common vetch seeds and applied Rhizobium leguminosarum L. bacterial and 3 doses of nitrogen (0-3-6 kg/da nitrogen) fertilizer. According to the results of the research it was observed that only the difference in the content of N in grain among the examined parameters. This value is 3.89% N in bacteria-overgrown plants and 3.39 % N in bacteria-free plants.
