Description
In an alfalfa breeding study conducted under conditions of high competition between plants, combining ability for protein and saponin content was evaluated from diallel crosses among single crosses at the levels of inbreeding S , S2 , S3 , and S4 . For protein content general combining ability (GCA) and specific combining ability (SGA) were never significant. For saponin content GCA was highly significant at S S3 , and S4 levels of inbreeding. The best entry was a single cross of the S2 level.
