Productivity of new sainfoin varieties and promising lines in the conditions of the south of Russia

The current paper has presented the study results of promising lines sainfoin in competitive variety testing. purpose was to estimate fodder, seed productivity and quality fodder mass for introduction best them into production use breeding. carried out fields FSBSI “ARC “Donskoy”. objects were nine varieties lines. standard a ‘Veles’. According results, green ‘Sin 2/2010’, 4/2010’ 8/95’ 30.1 t/ha, t/ha 30.3 or on 7.9 % 8.6 higher than that ‘Veles’ (27.9 t/ha). On average, 2 cycles, studied varied from 0.93 1.02 significantly (0.85 during two 3/2010’ 3/2004’ produced largest yield (1.02 13/93’ 4/2010’, respectively, exceeded dry matter 9.8% 10.0%, feed units per 1 ha 14.6% 14.8%. 3/2010’, are going be propagated isolated plots further under conditions
