dc.description.abstract	The genetic control of forage yields was investigated by a combining ability analysis based on a diallel cross made up of the hybrids between nine genotypes of lucerne. Summer forage yield was found to be controlled by additive and non-additive genes, and winter yield mainly by additive genes. General combining abilities differed markedly between genotypes for both summer and winter yields, and the correlation coefficient between summer and winter yields was high (0.89).Selected F
