Because of this feature, it is very less used in growth studies. This study was carried out in Yozgat ecological conditions where, 4 harvesting can be taken. Bilensoy (registered variant in Turkey) alfalfa variety growth analysis was made depending on time for each cut. At growth analysis, leaf area index, leaf area ratio, leaf growth ratio, plant growth ratio, relative growth ratio and net assimilation ratios were measured. Growth analysis was made on 5 plants taken from each plot. Measurements were taken at 6 different times of each cut. Richards, Logistic, Weibull, MMF, Gompertz, Exponential, Power, Gaussian, and Rational growth models were used for evaluating. Determination coefficient (R2) and Mean square error were used as comparison criteria. As a result, Weibull and Richards growth models explained very well plants growth of alfalfa. Leaf area index 96.3; Leaf area ratio 96.1; leaf growth rate 9.4; In the Weibull model with the coefficient of determination, the net assimilation ratio of 95.9 and the plant growth rate of 96.8 have the highest explanation value in the Weibull model. © 2021 Society for Innovative Agriculture, University of Agriculture.
