Abstract: In order to study of the effect of Cycocel (CCC)
dosages and pollination methods on alfalfa seed production an experiment was
conducted using split plot design
based on randomized complete block with three replications in Borujerd
agricultural research station, Iran for two years (2011-12). In split plot
designthree artificial pollination
systems (control, pulling rope over flowers in 70% and 100% pollination stages)
were used as main plots and the four hormone dosages (0,
1.6, 3.2 and 6.4 liter per hectare) as sub plots. The results of variance
analysis indicated that the influence of artificial pollination and mutual
influence of the hormone in artificial pollination on traits such as, bush
highness, stem diameter, and internodes distance have been significant. The
effect of Cycocel hormone other traits: bush highness, stem
diameter, and internodes distance at 5% level has become significant.
