                            <p>The aim of this study was to determine the yield and quality characteristics of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) genotypes with non-dormant characteristics. In the study, 5 alfalfa cultivars (Fortuna, Nimet, Green star, Isınde and Golden West) and 1 cultivar candidate were used. The study was carried out in 2 different locations where Antalya and Samsun in 2018-2020. The study was established in a randomized complete block design with 4 replicates and every year 8 cuts were made in Antalya and 6 cuts in Samsun. As a result of the research, the dry matter yield of the non-dormant variety candidate alfalfa was 3048 kg da-1, crude protein-21.45%, ADF-29.08%, NDF-39.94%, ADL-7.36%, Relative feed value-155%. According to the results of the analysis made from the dry matter yield, it was determined that the candidate cultivar was more stable than the other cultivars.</p></trans-abstract>

Araştırmada 5 adet yonca çeşidi (Fortuna, Nimet, Green star, Isinde ve Golden West) ile 1 adet çeşit adayı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma Antalya ve Samsun olmak üzere 2 farklı lokasyonda 2018-2020 yılları arasında yürütülmüştür. Çalışma Tesadüf Blokları Deneme Desenine göre 4 tekrarlamalı olarak kurulmuş olup, her yıl Antalya’da 8 biçim, Sansun’da ise 6 biçim yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonucunda non-dormant özellikteki çeşit adayı yoncanın kuru ot verimi-3048 kg da-1, ham protein oranı-%21.45, ADF oranı-%29.08, NDF oranı-%39.94, ADL oranı-%7.36, Nispi yem değeri-%155 olarak bulunmuştur. Kuru ot verimi üzerinden yapılan analiz sonuçlarına göre de aday çeşidin diğer çeşitlerden daha stabil olduğu belirlenmiştir.</p></abstract>
