Medicago sativa  L. (alfalfa, syn. lucerne) is an important forage crop for livestock, which is subject to attack from a range of insect pests and susceptible to diseases that can reduce production and persistence. This review considers the main insect pests affecting  M. sativa  in China and New Zealand as well as the wider plant resistance mechanisms and multitrophic interaction that occur between plants, insect pests, entomopathogens, endophytes, the environment, and climate change. This is with a view to identifying new research opportunities applicable to  M. sativa  that can be applied to improving production and persistence of this important agricultural crop. These opportunities include identification and activity of entomopathogens/endophytes (e.g.,  Bacillus  and  Pseudomonas  spp.,  Metarhizium  spp.) and plant growth enhancers ( Trichoderma ), as well as multitrophic plant-insect-microbial interactions.
