Abstract

L. var. arvense) cultivars: Uysal, Özkaynak, Kurtbey, Ürünlü, Taşkent, and Nany. The research was conducted under Manisa (Türkiye) field conditions during the 2021-2022 growing season, with supporting laboratory tests performed in Ankara. Seeds were evaluated before and after a three-month storage period under two conditions: room temperature and cold storage (5 °C, 60% RH). Laboratory analyses included germination percentage, germination speed, electrical conductivity (EC), and field emergence tests. Results revealed that cold storage significantly preserved seed vigor and viability, as indicated by lower EC values, higher germination and field emergence rates. Among cultivars, 'Taşkent' and 'Nany' demonstrated superior physiological seed quality, while 'Uysal' was more sensitive to adverse storage conditions. In field trials, cold-stored seeds produced taller plants, earlier flowering, and higher green and dry forage yields compared to room-stored seeds. The cultivar 'Ürünlü' stood out with the highest average forage yield. These findings underline the importance of genotype-specific responses and proper seed storage practices to maintain seed quality and optimize forage productivity in cool-season legumes.
