Preliminary Evaluation of Alfalfa Introduction Based on Principal Component Analysis and Subordinate Function
In order to explore the suitable planted varieties in semi-drought and sandy area of Alfalfa(Medicago sativa),the introduction experiment was conducted in Zhongwei city of Ruiying village.A comparative study of the 7 Alfalfa Varieties on root length,root weight,height,number branch ttunk,stem weight/leaf weight,dry weight/fresh weight,grass yield and other aspects was done.The results showed that:(i) Gannong No.4 alfalfa plant height,SW/LW,DY/FY were large,and significantly higher than the other tested varieties of Alfalfa (P < 0.05);Fresh yield was Gtunon on the 8th maximum,and there was a significant correlation with plant height,number branch trunk;(ii) Principal component analysis showed that root length,fresh root weight,height and number branch trunk of alfalfa had greater impact on overall growth traits;(iii)The subordinate function of comprehensive evaluation results showed that the gannong No.3,gannong No.4 high score,the better indicators and character,was suitable for planting in Zhongwei city of Ruiying village;Queen's weakest performance,not suitable for planting perennial grassland construction in the area.
