The objective of this study was to elucidate the problem of low seedy yields of five varieties of Medicago sativa L. (Australijska, Grimma, Kleszczewska, Miechowska, and Warmińska) under climatic conditions of northern Poland. The study included pollination and fertilization processes, embryo sac, embryo and endosperm development. These factors in case of lack of the proper amount of pollen, and insufficient number of pollinators, may under certain environmental conditions results in poor seed setting and low fertility of the varieties studied
