Abstract

The main purpose of this experiment was, evaluation of the characteristics of the seed samples for four alfalfa population in reaction with two fungi species of (Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum). The seeds samples of four alfalfa population with source of Iranian and foreign countries were used for this experiment. The seed samples of alfalfa were exposed with two level spores of Fusarium solani, F. oxysporum, The inoculated seed samples of each population were considered as treatment, also the non-inoculated of the seed samples of each population were considered as control. The main characteristics of the inoculated seed samples including (percent and speed of germination, length of root and shoot, fresh weight and dry weight, vigour index) were compared with non-inoculated seed samples for each population.
 The result showed that there was significant difference between the agents of infection and alfalfa for the characteristics of seed samples comparing with control.
