The objective of this study was to compare two populations of Crioula alfalfa cultivars, selected by the length of the seedling second internode (Crioula-LI, long internode = 2.5 cm; Crioula-SI, short internode = 1.5 cm) with Alfagraze cultivar in order to verify the seedling morphology value for the selection of more prostrate plants. The plants were grown individually in pots in a semi-protected environment and harvested at 74, 104, 134, 164, 194 and 224 days. Crioula populations varied in terms […]

This work aimed to evaluate the performance of alfalfa populations in response to defoliation. Two populations of alfalfa cv. Crioula (hay-type) and one population of alfalfa cv. Alfagraze (grazing-type) were evaluated, being selected at seedling stage according to the length of the second internode (EC=1.5 cm; EL=2.5 cm). The trial was performed in pots, between February and August/2005. The populations were harvest at two cutting intensities (2 and 8 cm) and three cutting frequencies (weekly, fortnightly and monthly) during 141 […]
