Medicago Sativa L

The aim of this study was to determine the degradation in the rumen for the dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM) and crude protein (CP) of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) harvested at different maturity stages by using an in situ nylon bag method. Maturity and harvesting effects were observed in ruminally degradable DM, OM and CP. High correlations between in situ degradability and maturity were determined. Alfalfa harvested in the bud period exhibited more extensive ruminal DM, OM and CP degradation than that harvested at other maturity stages. The alfalfa hay’s DM, OM and CP degradability were lowest (62.18%, 59.52% and 76.31%, respectively) in its most mature period of seed setting; its degradability decreased with maturity (17%, 14% and 13%, respectively).

The aim of this research was to select parameters for supercritical extraction with CO2 of Medicago sativa L., considered as functional food, in quarter-technical plant, providing the highest concentration of bioactive polar constituents and simultaneously maintaining the highest efficiency of the process. For the purpose of optimization, mathematical statistics was used. Qualitative analysis of products was performed with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC). The SFC analysis revealed a proper separation of flavonoids and phenolics acids for dedicated TFC and TPC optimal parameters. The obtained results have proved that it is a possibility to extract polar compounds with non-polar solvent under higher values of pressure and temperature and to enrich product with desired group of bioactive compounds with proper optimization. The proposed extraction technique allows to obtain on an industrial scale, using an environmentally friendly solvent, a preparation rich in biologically active nutrients that can be implemented in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food industries.

Probe Measurements

This paper deals with probe measurements of low frequency resistance (RLF), high frequency resistance (RHF), and resistance index (= 100 x RLF/RHF), for the determination of cold hardiness or the injury caused by cold treatments. Populations of white clover (Trifolium repens L.) were subjected to different periods of freezing. Discrimination between treatments could be made in terms of RLF, RHF, and resistance index, though discrimination in terms of RHF is poor. The rest of the paper deals with lucerne (Medicago sativa L.). Measurements were made after a cold treatment on field plants consisting of four commercial strains and their F1 crosses, and also on F2 seedlings. RLF and the resistance index appear to be equally good predictors for the recovery of strains or of individual plants from such populations. The Appendix deals with measurements on commercial (tetraploid) plants, diploids, and colchicine-produced tetraploids.

Abstract The field experiment aimed at determination of influence of autumn harvest on rhythm of the growth of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) and yield quality of the first cut in the following year was carried out in Spodnji Gabernik (258 m above sea level, 46°15′54.94″ N and 15°34′6.05″ E), in the fourth growth year of the lucerne variety ‘Soča’. The experiment was designed as a randomized block in four replications. The individual treatments represented weekly autumn cuttings (1) 24/9/2014, (2) 01/10/2014, (3) 08/10/2014, (4) 15/10/2014 and (5) 22/10/2014. The paper presents data associated with the amount of lucerne dry matter yield (DMY) per treatment compared with the DMY of the first spring cut in the year 2015 (18/05/2015). The growth rhythm of lucerne in each treatment, which took place before the first cut in year 2015, was based on the measurements of the height of the plants. The yield quality was evaluated by NIRS method for determination of crude protein (CP), the net energy of lactation (NEL) and metabolic energy (ME) in dry samples regarding to DMY of each treatment. In autumn 2014, statistically significant higher dry matter yields were obtained in later harvested treatments (5 and 4). Similarly, in spring 2015 the trend of higher crop dry matter yield was observed in treatments harvested later in the autumn of 2014. However, the differences were not significant. Statistically significant differences between treatments were acquired within CPY, NELY and MEY. Before the first mowing, in spring 2015, statistically significant trend of higher plants was also detected in treatments with later cutting in 2014.
