Germination experiments, which are set up completely randomized blocks with 3 replicates, were performed from seed harvest to end by 15 day intervals. In the experiment, the hard seed rate (%), the dead seed rate (%), germination speed (%), germination vigor (%) in Persian clover (Trifolium resupinatum var. majus Boiss.) which has different color such as yellow, green, red and mixed were determined and their variations in a year were examined. It was determined that seed color and time after harvest could affect all characteristics found out (P<0.01). While the highest rate of hard seed were determining in green seeds (1.46%), the highest dead seed rates in were 3.99% in red seeds. Germination speed was 97.95% in yellow seed and their vigor was found high (98.54%). While the highest hard seed rates were found in 20th (5.25%) and 25th (4.58%) periods, the highest non viable rates were 6.66% in 20th period. The highest germination speed and vigor were determined in 10th period (99.91%, 99.92%, respectively) and the lowest values were obtained from 20th period (87.08%, 88.08%, respectively).trinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessGermination SpeedGermination VigorHardseedednessPersian CloverTrifolium Resupinatum L.Article32179186N/AWOS:000453142000015
