ABSTRACT:
An evaluation of some new cultivars and experimental lines of cicer milk vetch (Astragalus cicer, L., Fabaceae) selected in last decade for forage yield, seedling vigour and recovery after harvest are briefly summarize. The examined samples are promising especially in grazing conditions. The new cultivars have a better stand establishment, a good average forage yield of 13,27 MT/ha (oven dry basis) and a high protein content. No injuries in grassing animals have been reported till now. The variability in forage yield between the cultivars and experimental lines suggest further possibilities of breeding.
