Abstract

ALFALFA (Medicago sativa L.) is a perennial legume fodder crop which known as a queen of fodders due to its valuable characteristics. It provides green fodder during lean periods of fodder scarcity. Alfalfa is moderately tolerant to salinity stress, so breeders mainly focus to develop salt tolerant varieties. A naimat (GR-722) variety was developed by the breeders from the random selection of five lines through the mass selection breeding method. The variety was evaluated in different experiments with check variety during 10 years of study. The variety was tested in different fodder yield trails along with check variety (Sargodha Lucerne). The performance alfalfa variety (Naimat) excellent in all fodder yield trials as compared to check and advance lines of alfalfa. Naimat variety also performs well in salt-affected soils as compared to other varieties. This variety is high green fodder yielding, tolerant to salinity has also a wide range of adaptability. It benefits the fodder growers, especially on salt-affected soils.
