Abstract
Research was carried out in Belgorod oblast in 2019–2023 to assess the dry matter (DM) yield of selection samples of variegated alfalfa, which were obtained by repeated selection of biotypes with high fertility in the year of sowing (“juvenile samples” (JS-samples)) in comparison with the initial breeding varieties to select the best ones. The research was carried out in three randomly arranged plots in five replications. The soil is typical chernozem with a humus content (according to Tyurin) of 4.8%, pHsalt of 6.6, and P2O5 and K2O content (according to Chirikov) of 122 and 180 mg/kg, respectively. The plots were double rowed with a length of 3.5 m and a row spacing width of 30 cm. Multiple selection from alfalfa varieties (Belgorodskaya 86, Krasnoyaruzhskaya 1, and Krasnoyaruzhskaya 2) has made it possible to create JS-samples (B-86, K-1, and K-2), which differ from the initial varieties in a rapid development in the first years of life. JS-samples surpassed the initial varieties in terms of DM yield by 32.1 to 36.0% (p < 0.05) in the year of sowing (mean for 2019–2021) and by 16.9–22.5% (p < 0.05) in the second year of life (mean for 2020–2022). The highest DM yield was characteristic of JS-sample K-2: 490–553 g/m2 in the year of sowing (2019–2021) and 799–939 g/m2 in the second year of life (2020–2022). At the same time, JS-samples sharply reduced their DM yield in the fourth year of life (mean for 2022–2023). Thus, it was 56.5% of the Belgorodskaya 86 variety for JS-sample B-86, 56.1% of the Krasnoyaruzhskaya 1 variety for JS-sample K-1, and 54.5% of the Krasnoyaruzhskaya 2 variety for JS-sample K-2. The studied JS-samples are promising for creating intensive-type varieties using grass stands of not more than 3 years of life.
