“…This is also correlated with the fact that the genetic potential of alfalfa depends on its life stage and age, as alfalfa is a perennial crop (Tucak et al, 2017). The higher yield obtained in the 2 nd year is in accordance with studies by other authors (Tucak et al, 2017;Tlahig et al, 2021). They have shown that maximum yield potential is achieved in the 2 nd year of alfalfa cultivation.…”

In the last few decades, peat-based bioinoculants have been proven as successful in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) seeds inoculation. However, the use of liquid inoculants or pre-inoculated seeds will greatly facilitate the sowing of alfalfa as a small seed legume. Therefore, this study evaluated the effect of four liquid formulations on the survival of Sinorhizobium (Ensifer) meliloti strain 218 during long-term storage. Sodium-alginate (SA) and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) did not affect the growth of S. meliloti strain 218 and showed a significant positive effect on its survival in liquid bioinoculants up to 240 days of storage. The effect of seeds pre-inoculation on the efficiency of nitrogen (N) fixation in alfalfa plants in test tube and a two-year field experiment was measured. The field experiment was conducted in 2018 and 2019 in an Eutric Cambisol. The dry weight of alfalfa shoots and total N content significantly increased in pre-inoculated seeds with all media, compared to the control treatments without pre-inoculation and adding mineral N. In both years of cultivation, the highest total shoot dry weight was achieved by seeds pre-inoculation with SA and PVP 3 months before sowing. Furthermore, in these treatments, shoot dry weight significantly increased compared to the treatment with mineral N in the 2 nd (2019) year. The results of the research showed that rhizobial bioinoculants with SA and PVP could be used as liquid bioinoculants as well as for successful pre-inoculation of alfalfa seeds.

Background Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) is one of the most important forage crops, but its seed productivity varies from year to year due to weather conditions. Alfalfa is a forage crop rich in nutrients which makes it valuable. The present 5-year study aimed to identify the promising alfalfa varieties based on their economic and biological characteristics, such as high seed productivity, a high yield of forage mass, good quality, and stress resistance. Results The study contributes information about the promising varieties of alfalfa characterized by high biomass and seed productivity. Varieties such as P-88044, U-73+149 and S-302 had stable seed/green mass yields regardless of climatic conditions; hence, they may be used for alfalfa selection in the southern forest-steppe regions of Bashkortostan. Conclusions The present findings can be used for alfalfa selection in the Republic of Bashkortostan (Russia). In addition, the results will be of interest to crop breeders across the globe.

“…In this context, several studies defined various traits providing a valuable representation of the existing diversity related to phenotypic classification as it is one of the crucial steps toward the germplasm clustering [54,55]. For this, an appropriate selection of the superior genetic material needed for the breeding program which requires a good understanding of the genetic pool structure, the identification of more relevant variables, the detection of the relationships among traits and genotypes, as well as the identification of possible groups [56].…”

Faba bean (Vicia Faba var. Minor) is of great importance as it is commonly used as an excellent protein source in food and feed. In Tunisia, the wide variability among local genetic resources might be valorized by preservation and breeding programs. For that, the knowledge of the diversity within this crop and its distribution across the oasis could be of great help in managing and improving its germplasm. The objectives of the present study were to assess the phenotypic diversity within a germplasm of 23 populations of local faba bean cropped in Tunisian arid regions. Characterization was undertaken based on 29 parameters related to seeds, plant growth, flowers, and pods characteristic. This agro-morphological characterization was carried out based on UPOV and Bioversity International descriptors. Crude protein (CP), neutral and acid detergent fibers (NDF, ADF), and in vitro dry/organic matter digestibility (IVDMD/IVOMD) parameters were also analyzed. Results revealed a considerable genetic variability for most of the agro-morphological parameters. In fact, significant differences (p<0.05) were revealed by ANOVA for the majority of the analyzed quantitative traits. The coefficient of variation, used as a homogeneity index, was above 1.44 % for all characters, which ensures the predominance of genetic components in the differences among populations. The overall variability was analyzed via multivariate and dimension reduction approaches relatively using hierarchical clustering and PCA methods, in order to classify populations into relatively homogenous groups after the identification of the major traits contributing to the overall diversity. The superior populations with the best precocity (95 DAS), with high total yielding per plant (500 g), and having the highest digestibility (96.5%), the highest CP content (29.6%), and the least NDF content (44.5%) were identified.
