#Sicklealfalfa #Medicago sativa L.subsp. #falcata is considered a #subspecies of lucerne, but is sometimes also seen as own #species of the M. sativa-#complex. It is native to #Eurasia and prefers deep, lime-rich #soils, here on Mount #Teufelsberg #Berlin with #Chorthippus cf.#mollis. K. Kaljund & V. Jaaska (2010) found a high genetic #diversity even in smaller #isolatedpopulations due to plant's biology, i.a.#autotetraploidy.

🌱 luzerne cultivée, élégante légumineuse aux grappes florales d’un mauve délicat. Ses tiges fines se dressent vers la lumière, ses feuilles trifoliées vibrent sous le vent, et ses fleurs en spirales attirent discrètement les butineurs 🐝 🦋
💜 Plante rustique et nourricière, elle soigne les sols… et parfois les esprits

Uncovering the Mysteries of Alfalfa Seed Dormancy Through Multispectral Imaging Analysis

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) is a legume grown in many parts of the world as animal fodder. It is prized in the forage industry for its high protein content and biomass yield. Furthermore, it is seen as an environmentally beneficial crop, with positive impacts on biodiversity and soil nitrogen conservation.
