THE PHENMORPHOLOGY OF PLANTS GERMINATED FROM ORGANOLEPTICALLY SELECTED CROTALARIA SEEDS DURING THE TRANSITION TO THE FLOWERING STAGE (PHASE)

In this study, the phenomorphological changes during the transition to the flowering stage in plants germinated from organoleptically selected Crotalaria seeds were examined. The main objective of the research was to analyze the growth characteristics related to the organoleptic indicators of Crotalaria seeds and to identify the morphological changes occurring during the transition to the flowering phase. In this process, the plant’s growth, leaf structure, stem formation, and flower development were observed. The results provide a deeper understanding of the developmental stages of Crotalaria plants and offer an opportunity to assess their biological uniqueness. The study discusses the results obtained from organoleptic observations of Crotalaria juncea seeds, which were selected and planted in open fields, and the phenological observations of the morphological characteristics of plants during the transition to the flowering phase. The morphological characteristics of this plant, such as stem length, number of leaves, surface area, and branch spacing, were found to vary based on seed selection.
