Effect of sowing rate and sowing method on the establishment, yield and survival of irrigated lucerne at Kyabram, Victoria
8
TL;DR: Hunter River lucerne (Medicago sativa) was sown at 6.9 kg ha -1, broadcast or in 15, 30 or 45 cm rows under irrigation, which affected the plant population and the morphology of the roots and the aerial growth.

Abstract: Hunter River lucerne (Medicago sativa) was sown at 6.7, 9, 13.4, 17.9, 22.4 or 26.9 kg ha -1, broadcast or in 15, 30 or 45 cm rows under irrigation. Seeding rate did not affect dry matter production. There were no significant differences in dry matter production between sowing broadcast or in 15 cm rows, but 30 cm and 45 cm rows produced less dry matter than 15 cm rows (P < 0.01 ). Seeding rates and sowing methods affected the plant population, which affected the morphology of the roots and the aerial growth.

Effects of The Environment on The Growth of Alfalfa
TL;DR: Different phases in the development of alfalfa are described, including bud and shoot initiation, root carbohydrate storage, regrowth characteristics, flower and seed formation, and seeding and the seed; two types of plant associations: intraspecific and interspecific competition.

Yield components, light interception and radiation use efficiency of lucerne (Medicago sativa L.) in response to row spacing
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of different row spacing on forage yield and plant density in a pure lucerne crop during the first production year and found that the row spacing can influence the forage harvest performance.

TL;DR: The DM yields and yield components indicate that 8.75 kg ha -1 of PLS could be sufficient to ensure adequate DM production and suggest that in a Mediterranean climate in which sprinkler irrigation is applied, there is little justification for high seeding rates under good establishment conditions.

Influence of weed competition on autumn-sown lucerne in south-eastern Australia and the field comparison of herbicides and mowing for weed control
TL;DR: Lucerne plant densities were lowest on the unsprayed control plots, with 56% fewer plants than for the herbicide combination treatments, and lucerne was the highest yielding species in all treatments at the second cut.
