Abstract. In recent years in connection with the extension of Alfalfa (Medicago) spreading area and promotion to the northern regions. It is necessary to introduce new generation varieties that are resistant to abiotic environmental factors and capable of growing in conditions of long daylight hours, limited heat resources, and increased soil acidity to increase the efficiency of its cultivation. Considering that previously alfalfa did not grow in the conditions of Karelia, there are no native strains of nodule bacteria in the soil that can enter into productive relationships with this legume crop, it is necessary to inoculate seeds with Sinorhizobium meliloti and at the same time select the most adaptive variety-microbial systems to the conditions of the region. In this regard, three-year studies were carried out on the ecological variety testing of variable alfalfa varieties Taisiya, Agniya VIK, Pastbischnaya 88 and variety samples SGP-387 and 506 (Lyusya variety), and when inoculated with strains of nodule bacteria Sinorhizobium meliloti (SKhM-1-105, 415, A-1, A-5, and variant without application). It was found that among the studied varietal-microbial systems the most adapted to the conditions of the North-West region are variety 506 (Lyusya variety) inoculated with strain SKhM-1-105, capable of providing yield on average for two years of use up to 7.45 tonnes/ha dry weight, as well as Agniya VIK in combination with the same strain (7.25 tonnes/ha), strains A-1 and A-5 also provided yield increase over the control in 1.8-2.2 times. In terms of varieties, these strains can be characterised as universal.

Keywords: alfalfa, variety, varietal-microbial systems, nodule bacteria, strains, yields
