1 Tarla Bitkileri Merkez Araştırma Enstitüsü Müdürlüğü, Ankara - In this study, the objective was to determine the morphological and phenological features of 16 sainfoin ( Onobrychis spp. L.) populations. The research was carried out in Haymana Research and Production Station of The Field Crop Research Institute in 2000, 2001 and 2002 years in Ankara, Turkey.

The morphological characteristics as stem length, stem thickness, and plant spreading area, the phenological features as number of days to flowering, and pod setting were determined , and the forage yield was measured on individual plants of each population.

There are variations among and within populations in term of all aspects.

The populations with superior characteristics are available to be used as a basic materials for further breeding phase. Keywords : Sainfoin populations, morphological characteristics, phenological characteristics
