Clover VIK 77

VIK 77 is a variety of meadow clover (Trifolium pratense L.), characterized by a diploid chromosome set. It features early-mid flowering time and average stem parameters in length and thickness, with very weak or weak hairiness. Leaves have average sizes, with a large number of plants possessing white markings on the leaf blade. Inflorescences of the variety are pink in color, and seeds are multicolored with increased violet hues.

The VIK 77 variety is included in the State Register for several regions, confirming its adaptation and stability under various climatic conditions. The average yield of dry matter in growing regions is about 68.3 centners per hectare, exceeding standard indicators by 1.7 centners. However, the variety is susceptible to clover cancer, which should be considered in agrotechnical measures.

Molecular-genetic certification of the VIK 77 variety has been conducted using SSR and SRAP markers, allowing for precise identification of this variety among others. During the research, unique genetic markers were identified, confirming its genetic individuality. This data is used to develop molecular-genetic formulas, contributing to improved breeding work and seed material quality control.
