Description
Sainfoin ( Onobrychis sativa Lam) is a fodder crop of modest requirements since it grows on eroded, shallow and dry soils, which are abundant in Yugoslavia, especially in Bosna and Herzegovina and Macedonia. However, in this country, sainfoin is not produced on large areas ; most frequently it is in the form of domestic or domesticated populations which have low yields. Although their productivity is not high, these populations are frequently characterized by a number of positive traits which can be useful in selection. The purpose of our research was the determination of selection value for some domestic populations based on observation of numerous biological, morphological and production traits, with parallel comparison to some imported varieties. This paper will show results for plant height, number of stem per plant, stem thickness and dry matter content per plant.
