Determination of Seed Set Characteristics of Alfalfa Genotypes are Planted in Polycross Parcels

25534

This research was conducted to determine seed set and some yield characteristics of 10 alfalfa genotypes collected from lakes region in experiment area of Suleyman Demirel University Agriculture Faculty in 2014 year. In the research, the highest plant length (103.22 cm) were obtained from the number 6 genotype, the highest stem numbers per plant (55.44 pieces/plant), floret numbers per raceme (62.33 floret/raceme) and seed yields per plant (78.94 g) from the number 2 genotype, pod numbers per raceme (40.77 pod/raceme) from the 3 number genotype, the rate of pod/raceme (%80), the 1000 seed weight (1.93 g) from the number of 4 genotype and the seed number per pod (5.56 seed/pod) form the 5 number genotype. The lowest values of these characteristics varied according to genotypes.
