Özet:

 Alfalfa is the most important forage crop. For this reason, a lot of research has been done on alfalfa. This study was carried out to determine the physical and physiological characteristics of the seeds of alfalfa populations under controlled conditions in the Biosystem and Field Crops laboratories of the Faculty of Agriculture of Bingol University between the years 2020-2021. In the study, a total of 20 alfalfa genotypes, of which 16 populations and four standard varieties, grown in Bingol Province were used as plant material. In the study, length, width, surface area, mean arithmetic and geometric diameters, sphericity, germination rates and times of alfalfa seeds were investigated. It was determined that the seeds of the alfalfa genotypes had an average length of 1.265 mm, a width of 0.732 mm and a surface area of 0.761 mm2. The mean arithmetic diameter of the seeds belonging to the genotypes was 0.970 mm, the geometric diameter was 0.456 mm and the sphericity value was 0.334. As a result, it has been determined that the seeds of alfalfa populations have the physical and physiological characteristics of standard varieties, and it is foreseen that the obtained data can be evaluated in breeding studies and mechanization applications.

 Yonca en önemli yem bitkisidir. Bu nedenle yonca üzerinde çok sayıda araştırma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışma, 2020-2021 yılları arasında Bingöl Üniversitesi Ziraat Fakültesi Biyosistem ve Tarla Bitkileri laboratuvarlarında kontrollü koşullar altında yonca popülasyonlarına ait tohumların fiziksel ve fizyolojik özelliklerinin belirlenmesi amacıyla yürütülmüştür. Çalışmada bitki materyali olarak Bingöl ilinde yetiştirilen 16 popülasyon ve dört standart çeşit olmak üzere toplam 20 yonca genotipi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada, yonca tohumlarının uzunluk, genişlik, yüzey alanı, ortalama aritmetik ve geometrik çapları, küresellikleri, çimlenme oranları ve süreleri araştırılmıştır. Yonca genotiplerine ait tohumların ortalama 1,265 mm uzunluğa, 0,732 mm genişliğe ve 0,761 mm2 yüzey alanına sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Genotiplere ait tohumların ortalama aritmetik çapı 0,970 mm, geometrik çapı 0,456 mm ve küresellik değeri 0,334 olarak belirlenmiştir. Sonuç olarak yonca popülasyonlarına ait tohumların standart çeşitlerin fiziksel ve fizyolojik özelliklerine sahip olduğu saptanmış olup, elde edilen verilerin ıslah çalışmalarında ve mekanizasyon uygulamalarında değerlendirilebileceği öngörülmektedir.
