METHODS OF CREATING SIBERIAN VARIETIES OF MEADOW CLOVER FOR THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX OF RUSSIA

To increase the volume of production of vegetable protein feeds meadow clover plays an important role. Under the conditions of Western Siberia varieties were created: by the method of polycross – late-ripening type on a diploid basis SibNIIK 10, Rodnik Sibiri, Atlant; by the method of selections based on conjugate characteristics, the Ogonek variety was created; together with the V.R. Williams Federal Research Center, as a result of a combination of methods of mutagenesis, polyploidy, hybridization and selections, the Meteor variety, early-ripening type was created on a tetraploid basis; as a result of a combination of hybridization and selection methods; a Prima – early-ripening type variety on a diploid basis; the early-maturing Assol variety on a tetraploid basis was created by hybridization, polyploidy and selection; in Pamyati Lisicyna, the tetraploid early-maturing type was created by ecological selection.
