Yield and Quality Characteristics of Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) Genotypes in the High Dormancy Group

Öz

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.

Yüksek Dormansi Grubunda Bulunan Yonca (Medicago sativa L.) Genotiplerinin Verim ve Kalite Özellikleri

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı non-dormant özellikteki yonca (Medicago sativa L.) genotiplerinin verim ve kalite özelliklerini belirlemektir. 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.
