The Effect of Artificial Pollination and Different Dosages of Cycocel on Yield Components and Seed Yield in Hamedanian Alfalfa

In order to study effect of difference dosages of Cycocel (CCC) and artificial pollination in yield Components and Seed yield in Hamedanian alfalfa in both purposes (forage-seed) an experiment in Agricultural Research Station of Borujerd under 2011-2012 years using split plot design by Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with three replications was carried out. In this experiment main treatments including Artificial pollination with Pulling rope under two stages with 70% levels pollination that this treatment in 100% pollination was repeated and 100% pollination and without artificial pollination was performed and sub treatments including difference dosages of cycocel hormones including levels (0- 1.6-3.2 -6.4) liter per hectare were performed. The results of analyses of variance were showed that artificial pollination effect in seed yield in 1% level probability and number of pods per plant, number of seed per pods and harvest index in 5% lever were significant. Also effect of hormone and interaction effect them with artificial pollination per seed yield and harvest index in 1% probability level and number of seed per pods in 5% probability lever were significant but number of pod per plant non significant. In this study the highest of seed yield in artificial pollination treatment in 100% + 70% levels and 3.2liter per hectare were found. [Nikzad S, Nakhjavan S, Farsi M, Nikzad M, Nikzad M.
