Lucerne Ladoslava — this is a perennial grassy crop from the legume family, widely used in agriculture for high-quality feed and soil fertility improvement. This variety is distinguished by high yield, good winter hardiness, and adaptability to various climatic conditions, making it a reliable choice for cultivation in different regions.
Lucerne is valued for its high feed value and productivity. During the growing season, it can regrow 3-4 times, providing tender and nutritious feed in the form of green mass, hay, and silage. Green mass is rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, and 100 kg of lucerne hay contains about 8.5 kg of digestible protein and is equivalent to 53 feeding units. Green mass yield can reach 400-600 centners per hectare, while hay yield can reach 50-120 centners and more. With irrigation, it is possible to obtain 80-120 tons of green mass or 20-40 tons of hay per hectare over 8-10 cuttings.
In addition to its feed qualities, lucerne plays an important role in agronomy as a cover crop. Thanks to symbiosis with nitrogen-fixing bacteria, it enriches the soil with nitrogen, improving its fertility and helping to suppress weeds through dense vegetation. Lucerne seeds are usually sown in spring, and summer sowing is effective with adequate soil moisture. Thus, lucerne Ladoslava is a versatile crop that combines high feed value with positive effects on soil resources.
