The objective was to utilize exploratory data analysis techniques for evaluating dry matter production (DMP) obtained from 16 cuts of 92 accessions of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.). A significant effect on DMP was observed both within and among cuts; the coefficient of variation ranged from 17.7% (cut 2) to 51.7% (cut 9). The DMP data obtained from 16 cuts of 92 accessions of alfalfa did not fit to the normal distribution. The skewness coefficients were negative for dry matter production […]
