KWS – Your alfalfa specialist

Alfalfa (also called Lucerne) "medicago sativa", is a perennial forage legume, which is widely grown throughout the world as forage for cattle, and which is harvested as hay or silage, grazed, or fed as green-chop. On well-adapted soils, alfalfa is often the highest-yielding forage plant, but its primary benefit is the combination of high yield per hectare and high nutritional quality. Plants grow to a height of up to 1 m, and have a deep root system, that typically grows to a depth of 2–3 meters.
