Study was carried out in randomized factorial block design with three replications under Eskişehir climatic conditions during the years of 2013-2014. Four sowing rates (6, 8, 10 and 12 kg/da) were applied. Results showed that sowing rates had significant effect on plant height, cluster number per plant and seed yield giving higher values in Aktaş cultivar. Once, 6 kg/ da seed rate gave the highest plant height, cluster number per plant, 1000 seed weight and seed yield per plant; the highest seed yield was obtained from 12 kg/da sowing rate.
