Comparison of Some Exotic Lucerne (Medicago sativa) Genotypes for Green Fodder Yield
Syed Sadaqat Mehdi, Muhammad Ahsan and Iftikhar Ahmad Khan

Abstract: There was significant variability found for plant height and green fodder yield among forty-eight genotypes of Lucerne. Moderate coefficients of variation and high heritability estimates for plant height and green fodder yield among the Lucerne genotypes suggested that a greater improvement is possible by hybridizing groups-I (Beaver, E-542 genotypes), group-II (GR 793, Russian #36, 75-527) and group-III (African Pop, GR 692, Griamn-2, Hunter River) which may produce better segregants for increased green fodder yield.
