Abstract
The field experiment was carried out as a split plot over 1996-1998 and included alfalfa cultivars of different origin (Canadian: ‘Mohawk’ and ‘I Roqvois’; American: ‘Legend’ and Polish: ‘Radius’) harvested with 3- and 4-cuts. The highest yields of dry matter, total protein and true protein were recorded in: ‘I Roqvois’ and ‘Radius’ (3-cut harvest) and ‘I Roqvois’, ‘Mohawk’ and ‘Legend’ (4-cut harvest). The results suggest a potential for cultivating alfalfa cultivars: ‘I Roqvois’, ‘Mohawk’ and ‘Legend’ in the south-eastern Poland.
