This study was carried out to determine the quality characteristics of the nutrient composition with some yield parameters of silage corn (Zea mays L.) and sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) grown in the irrigated conditions of Gevaş province of Van. In the study; OSSK 644 corn and KAAN sunflower varieties were used and field trial was established with randomized complete blocks design with 3 replications. The corn and sunflower seeds were planted 70 cm x 25 cm at row arrangements. There was no significant difference between the corn (6586.55 kg da-1, 1796.21 kg da-1) and the sunflower (6404.76 kg da-1, 1517.23 kg da-1) in terms of the yield of forage and dry matter, while the difference between plant height and cob / table ratio of its was significant (p<0.01). Values of crude ash (CA), crude protein (CP), crude fat (CF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) for sunflower silage was found to be 11.02%, 11.19%, 14.63% and 39.74%, respectively and was higher than corn silage values (5.15%, 4.80, 6.69% and 30.47%, respectively) (p<0.05). In conclusion, sunflower can be advised as an alternative to corn as silage in the Van ecological conditions.
