Fodder and seed productivity of the meadow clover new early ripening variety Yatvyag
Abstract
The paper presents the three-year results of the study of competitive variety testing of meadow clover in regard to economically important traits, high productivity of dry matter and seeds. A promising variety sample of meadow clover was identified, which formed green mass yield of 989 c/ha and dry matter yield of 161.6 c/ha, on average over three years. It exceeded the standard Pratsaunik variety in terms of green mass yield by 100 c/ha (11,0 %), dry matter - by 20.7 c/ha (14.9 %). The new variety sample of meadow clover Yatvyag has high seed productivity. The average seed yield for the three years of testing was 3.16 c/ha, 1.93 c/ha relatively to the Pratsaunik standard, or 1.23 c/ha (63.7 %) higher. The variety sample underwent official variety testing and was recognized on the territory of the Republic of Belarus in 2023.
