Lucerne/Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.)<br />
Alfalfa is grown in most temperate regions of the world. It thrives<br />
very well on well-drained soils with a sufficient content of lime,<br />
potash and phosphate. It has a deep tap root system and is thus<br />
able to withstand severe drought. It is a productive plant with high<br />
nutritional value. It has an early spring growth and rapid regrowth<br />
Alsike Clover (Trifolium hybridum L.)<br />
Alsike has growth characteristics of both Red and White Clover. It<br />
thrives well in acidic and water-logged soils and is used in mixtures<br />
with grasses suitable for these conditions. The persistence of the<br />
clover is normally 2-3 years.<br />
Black Medick (Medicago lupulina L.)<br />
Black Medick is mainly used for intercropping for green manuring.<br />
The crop is undersown in a spring cereal and is ploughed under in<br />

after cutting. Alfalfa can be conserved as hay but it is also possible<br />
to ensile the crop by mixing it with grasses, alternatively it can also<br />
be utilised by drying it artificially and making it into pellets. Alfalfa<br />
is divided into dormancy groups that refer to autumn growth after<br />
the last cut.<br />

the late autumn or following spring. Black Medick is used for forage<br />
as well.<br />
Birdsfoot Trefoil (Lotus corniculatus L.)<br />
Birdsfoot Trefoil thrives well in drought-prone and less fertile soils<br />
due to the deeper tap roots. It produces high quality forage and the<br />
content of tannins prevents bloating in grazing cattle. It is normally<br />
shorter lived than White Clover.<br />
