In 1993 to 1995, two sets of alfalfa genetic resources were evaluated. 12 varieties were included in each of these sets. In each variety the following economic characters were evaluated: plant height and weight, stem number, regrowth rate after the cut, seed weight. Variety Palava was the best in green matter yield, plant height, and seed yield. As to the stem number in the studied period, American varieties Pioneer Brand 555, Pioneer Brand 5331, and Capital were the best. French varieties Marina, Bella, Recor, and Greek variety Veria were in most characters the best ones. Good performance as to the green matter yield through the whole period was recorded in French varieties Bella, Marina, and Recor. Palava was the best in the seed yield also in this set.
