With proper care and irrigation, up to 80-120 tons of green mass or 20-40 tons of hay per season can be obtained per hectare, making it a highly productive crop for livestock feeding. ULYANOVSKAYA 7 alfalfa is distinguished by its high protein content and good digestibility, ensuring quality nutrition for animals.
