Medicago Sativa L – Alfalfa

Alfalfa is grown in most temperate regions of the world. It thrives very well on well-drained soils with a sufficient content of lime, potashand phosphate. It has a deep tap root system which makes alfalfa able to withstand severe drought. It is a productive plant of high nutritional value. It has an early spring growth and rapid regrowth after cutting. Alfalfa can be conserved as hay but it is also possible to ensile the crop by mixing it with grasses, alternatively by drying it artificially and making it into pellets. Alfalfa is divided into dormancy rates which refer to autumn growth after the last cut. The rate goes from 1-9 with 9 as the highest autumn growth activity, thus with least winterhardiness.
