Evaluation of Egyptian Clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) Germplasm through Redundancy Analysis for Forage Yield and Its Components

Presence of adequate variation is known to be a prerequisite for genetic improvement of a crop species. Experiments were performed in lysimeters to characterize 29 accessions of Egyptian clover ( Trifolium alexandrinum L.) for forage yield and contributing traits through redundancy analysis. Germplasm was also subjected to growth analysis. Correlation analysis showed positive relationships of seedling traits such as emergence percentage,...
