Contenido: | Lotus cornicualtus L. (lotus) is a forage perennial legume of great importance because of its large distribution in Uruguay, with the consequent rising seed demand. Nevertheless its adaptation, among the restriction of the species is the slow seedling growth that hinders the establishment and the limited persistence. In spite of being a great seed producer, it is the forage legume with the largest problems at the moment of seed harvest due to pod shattering that is favoured by summer climatic conditions. Lotus lack of persistence affects seed and forage yields from the second year onward. Landvarieties are important sources of genetic variation for pasture improvement. Natural selection, as well as introgression of local populations, gave origin to the development of farmers? Creole varieties with consequent increases in adaptation, as well as intraspecific variability (Rebuffo et al., 2005). The specific conditions of growth in each rural establishment can condition seed yield and its components which could generate specific genetic characteristics of the farmers? seed harvests. The present study, carried out in the frame of Project LESIS (Legumes for Sustainable Systems, FTG-787/2005), characterizes the genetic diversity of Creole varieties in Uruguay in relation to their potential of seed and forage production in the climatic and soil conditions of the Southern region of Uruguay.
