Main Article Content
Abstract
The article presents observation data obtained in 2024 on crops of variable alfalfa and blue alfalfa. The aim of the study was to examine the influence of seeding rates as an element of technology on the economically valuable characteristics of alfalfa crops of different types. The following tasks were set:
- To study the behavioral characteristics of alfalfa varieties during the growing season.
- To identify the influence of seeding rates on the economically valuable characteristics of varieties of different types of alfalfa.
When studying the obtained data, it was found that lodging resistance depends not on the seeding rate, but on the species. The foliage of both alfalfa varieties decreased with an increase in the seeding rate. The most important indicator, the yield of green mass, increased with the increase in seeding rates in blue alfalfa. No such dependence was observed in variable alfalfa. The dry matter collection in total for two cuttings in variable alfalfa is higher than in variable alfalfa in all variants.
