THERE CAN BE few other forage plants which have stimulated a greater volume of research work than lucerne. Although part of the reason for this sustained interest may be its great antiquity as a fodder plant, for lucerne has a documented history of over 2,000 years, of greater importance has undoubtedly been its ability to produce high yields of good quality forage, especially under dry conditions.
