“…Mean DM yields varied significantly (P<0.05) among accessions and ranged from 3.86 t DM/ha for ILRI_14176A to 4.99 t DM/ha for ILRI_7323A. This was to be expected as previous studies have reported significant differences in DM yields among alfalfa cultivars, with yields of 2.0-3.3 t DM/ha (Yüksel et al 2016), and 2.6-3.6 t DM/ha (mean 3.2; Altinok and Karakaya 2002) under rain-fed conditions.…”

Feed supply in terms of quality and quantity plays an important role in livestock production and productivity. Here we report on varietal differences in yield and nutritional quality among 9 alfalfa accessions over 7 harvests following planting in Ethiopia. Experimental design was a randomized complete block with 3 replications at Chano Mille, Southern Ethiopia on a sandy loam soil where mean annual rainfall is 544 mm. Days to harvesting, plant height, dry matter yield, seed yield and the concentrations of the nutritional quality parameters crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fiber, acid detergent fiber, acid detergent lignin, hemicellulose and cellulose plus in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD) and relative feed value (RFV) were assessed to rank the accessions. There were significant (P<0.001) differences between accessions and harvests in plant height, dry matter yield and seed yield. Accession ILRI_7323A performed best in all agro-morphological aspects. All accessions, except 1, produced forage with CP in excess of 30% and IVDMD greater than 80% with RFV greater than 150 at 50% flowering, indicating the high quality of forage produced. Further studies to assess the longevity of stands of the various accessions seem warranted along with studies in higher rainfall environments or under irrigation.

“…These differences could be due to cultivar and ecological differences. In the studies conducted with alfalfa varieties and lines under Erzurum ecological conditions (Sengul et al, 2003), as well as with alfalfa varieties in Ankara and Isparta (Yuksel et al, 2016), it was reported that the crude protein contents ranged between 15.95-18.21 % and 15.14-19.13 %, respectively. It could be said that the crude protein contents obtained from our research were within those ranges of change, and they were similar to the results (16.23-17.53 %) of the research conducted by Yilmaz and Albayrak (2016) under Isparta ecological conditions.…”

This research was carried out between 2009 and 2011 to determine the herbage yield and some agricultural and quality characteristics of alfalfa varieties under the ecological conditions of Eastern Anatolia, Gurpinar, Van Turkey. Six alfalfa varieties were grown, including domestic Kayseri, Bilensoy-80 and Van Native (ecotype) in addition to varieties Planet, Plato and CW-3567 of foreign origin. It was found that means of alfalfa varieties ranged from 77.9 to 82.3 cm for plant height; from 29.9 to 33.4 for number of main stems per plant; from 8.32 to 9.38 % for crude ash and from 16.55 to 17.55 % for protein content. The differences among the varieties for certain traits were not statistically significant. However, Van Native (43575 kg ha -1 ) and CW-3567 (43242 kg ha -1 ) gave high fresh herbage yields whereas CW-3567 (16201 kg ha -1 ), Van Native (15519 kg ha -1 ) and Kayseri (15194 kg ha -1 ) gave high hay yields. Beside, CW-3567 (2827 kg ha -1 ) was the best variety for crude protein yield. Based on the results of the study, it could be said that cultivar CW-3567 could be recommended to be grown under the ecological conditions of Eastern Anatolia.

“…In 2020, the number of stems significantly decreased so their crops were thinner in the soil with and without mobile Al (Table 2). Other researcher suggested that the stem density of alfalfa depended on resistance of genotypes to acid soil and locations of growing (Lakić et al, 2019; Yüksel et al, 2016). The seed yield of alfalfa depended on environmental conditions because the weather conditions were hot and dry during the formatting and ripening of alfalfa pods in 2019.…”

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) as a perennial forage grass is widely adapted to favorable environmental conditions with wide range of soils including acid soils. The productivity traits of alfalfa in the soil without and with 1.8–14.7 mgAl/kg concentration of mobile Al were investigated. The study site was conducted at the Vėžaičiai Branch of the Lithuanian Research Centre for Agriculture and Forestry, 55°70 N lat., 21°49 E long. The experiment featuring 19 cultivars was established on a Balthygleyic Dystric Retisol in 2018. In 2019 and 2020, the productivity traits were evaluated: spring regrowth, plant height before flowering, stem number, seed yield, and fresh and dry matter yield. The mobile Al negatively influenced productivity traits of alfalfa in 2019 and 2020. Several cultivars of alfalfa were distinguished by tolerance to mobile Al and will be used for further selection for breeding. In 2020, the cultivar Europe from France was distinguished by spring regrowth, number of stems and fresh matter yield in the soil with mobile Al. The cultivar Ludelis from France differed by spring regrowth and height before flowering time in the soil with mobile Al in 2019–2020. The cultivar Skriveru from Latvia was the most yielding by seed yield in the soil without and with mobile Al in 2019. The Lithuanian cultivar Antanė was yielding by dry matter yield in the soil with and without mobile Al in 2019. The cultivar Žydrūnė from Lithuania was yielding by fresh and dry matter yield in the soil with and without mobile Al in 2020. This study on acid soils with and without mobile Al concentrations has revealed the differences of productivity traits under different environmental conditions of experimental years. Results of this study are important not only for Lithuania but also for the other lands of Europe where Retisol are prevails.
