Abstract: Field experiment with 23 different alfalfa varieties was performed in Qingdao, Shandong province, difference in yield, plant height, and stem leave ratio among all treatments were compared in the past 4 years. The result showed that 23 alfalfa varieties generally grew well in Qingdao, and foreign alfalfa varieties showed better performance than domestic varieties. The hay yield of planting beside filmed ridges is significantly higher than the one of conventional tillage, the increases value of the 23 varieties except Gannong No.4, Xinjiangdaye and Ameri graze 401 is over 50%.The correlation degrees between the hay yield and average sunshine duration, annual average temperature are up to 0.795 5, 0.878 9, the one between the hay yield and average annual rainfall is just 0.569 1. In plant height, the highest one is WL323, up to 87.8 cm, the lowest one is Aohan, just 74.7 cm.Among the 23 alfalfa, there are significant differences in plant height and the production, the plant height and the production have very high positive correlation, the R is over 0.65. In stem leaf ratio, the lowest is Ameri graze 401, just 1.22 and the stem leaf ratio has a increasing trend. Among the 23 varieties examined, WL323, Ameri graze 401 and AC carbou have superior performance on plant height, fresh yield, stem leaf ratio than others 20 cultivars, which suggesting that the three varieties are suitable to be used in Qingdao region of Shandong province.
