Abstract:

Lucerna (Medicago sativa L.) je cijenjena je krmna kultura koja ima gospodarsku, poljoprivrednu i nutritivnu vrijednost te primjenu nalazi i u medicini. Na uzgoj i prinos svake kulture, pa tako i lucerne, veliki utjecaj može imati prisutna entomofauna. Ona može pozitivno, ali i negativno utjecati na prinose, ovisno o tome radi li se o korisnim ili štetnim kukcima. Cilj rada bio je istražiti dinamiku pojave entomofaune na lucerni, primjenjujući različite metode hvatanja štetnika (endogejski mamci, pitfall mamci, žute ljepljive ploče i entomološka mreža).

Abstract:

Lucerne is a deep-rooted perennial forage legume with an important role in preventing dryland salinity in southern Australian cropping regions. Annual cereal production has created a water-use imbalance, which is placing the industry under threat through rising saline watertables and resultant dryland salinity. Lucerne is being incorporated into cropping systems to reduce groundwater recharge and improve the sustainability of grain production. Existing lucerne varieties have been developed for the animal industries, primarily for the areas with high rainfall or irrigation. The new challenge is

Dryland salinity, caused largely by insufficient water use of annual crops and pastures, is increasing in southern Australia. A field experiment in north-eastern Victoria (average annual rainfall 600 mm) assessed the potential for lucerne grown in rotation with crops to reduce the losses of deep drainage compared with annual crops and pasture. Soil under lucerne could store 228 mm of water to 1.8 m depth. This compared with 84 mm under continuous crop (to 1.8 m depth), except in 1997–98 where crop dried soil by 162 mm.

Abstract:

After the French Revolution, the forests of Lucerne have been divided and privatized more than in any other region of Switzerland. Today, approximately 70% of Lucerne's forests are owned by individuals or private organizations. Only by realignment of the Lucerne Forest Service, initiated in 1997, as well as by disassembling its sovereign and operational tasks, has it been possible to overcome disadvantages of small scale private forestry. The formation of regional organizations is crucial in this regard.

Soil nitrogen (N) supply in the Vertosols of southern Queensland, Australia has steadily declined as a result of long-term cereal cropping without N fertiliser application or rotations with legumes.

However, lucerne leys in this subtropical environment can create a soil moisture deficit, which may persist for a number of seasons. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of varying the duration of a lucerne ley (for up to 4 years) on soil N increase, N supply to wheat, soil water

Lucerne is a deep-rooted herbaceous perennial legume with high levels of summer production and adaptation to a broad range of agro-ecological environments in southern Australia. The ability of lucerne to extend the growing season of winter-based pasture and respond quickly to rainfall after periods of drought makes it one of the most valuable plants in our feed base. However, for all the advantages of lucerne, it remains underutilised.

Abstract:

Purpose – A lack of available literature exists about sensory data on lucerne (which is mainly used for animal feed) as an underutilised protein source for human consumption in South Africa (SA). Developing tasteless lucerne products is meaningless. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to determine the descriptive sensory profile and consumers’ acceptability of lucerne. Design/methodology/approach – Three lucerne cultivars and one spinach beet (Beta vulgaris var. cicla L.) cultivar were used: first, to determine sensory descriptive attributes by generic descriptive analysis; and second, to

Abstract:

In a field experiment in north-eastern Victoria (average annual rainfall 598 mm), the impact of 2–4 years of lucerne growth on the following 3–4 crops was assessed. Controls of continuous lucerne, annual pasture, and continuous crop were compared with 5 lucerne–crop rotations. Above-ground biomass and water use efficiency of lucerne, annual pasture, and crops were assessed, as were the soil N status, grain yields, and profitability of crops after lucerne. Lucerne grew more slowly over the autumn–spring growing season (20 kg DM/ha.day) than did annual pastures and crops (41 and 58 kg DM/ha.day,

Long-term yields, nitrogen uptake and responsiveness of grain sorghum following three lucerne rotations, an annual legume rotation, long fallowing, and continuous wheat growing were measured on a black earth and red clay in northern New South Wales. The three lucerne rotations compared two methods of lucerne establishment (with or without a cover crop) and two methods of grazing management (short or extended grazing).There were large beneficial effects of lucerne leys on the first grain sorghum crop, whether they were measured as grain yield, nitrogen content of the foliage and grain, or nitro

Abstract:

Lucerne is being widely promoted as a means of salinity prevention, due to its ability to grow roots deeper into the soil and use more water than annual crops or pastures. This helps to reduce groundwater recharge. Direct groundwater use would also help to lower water tables, but lucerne’s role in this regard is poorly understood. In this research, lucerne plants growing in 2 landscape positions (one position with access to moderately saline groundwater, and one without access to groundwater) at similar plant densities were compared in terms of their pre-dawn leaf water potentials and evapotra

Mixtures of legume and grass are used worldwide to gain advantages in forage production and ecological maintenance. However, competition for nutrients by legumes in mixtures has not been fully explored. The aim was to determine how the forage proportion affected nutrient competition in legume and grass mixtures. Treatments included two species combinations and five sowing ratios. Competitive ratios (CR) of lucerne for nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) over two grasses were assessed to analyze how the lucerne proportion in mixtures affected the competition.

Abstract:

Growing dryland crops after lucerne is known to be risky because of the lack of residual soil water. We investigated ways of reducing this risk by removing portions of a lucerne pasture, using either herbicides or cultivation, at monthly intervals between November and April, before sowing a wheat crop in May, followed by a canola crop in the following year. The experimental site was on a red-brown earth in southern New South Wales. Lucerne removal was incomplete when the wheat was sown, so all lucerne plants were removed from half of each plot with a post-emergence herbicide, to allow comparis

Background Lucerne is a perennial legume forage, which can produce multiple cuts in 1 year. Microelements play fundamental roles in the function, maintenance and adaptation to the environment for lucerne growth. However, the role of the accumulation of copper (Cu), iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and Zinc (Zn), which vary with lucerne ages or cuts, has not been previously determined. Therefore, a hypothesis on the Cu, Fe, Mn and Zn in lucerne varying with age and cut was tested.

Lucerne is rated on its winter activity level with varieties having high or low winter growth activity. Lucerne is suited for soils with a pH (CaCl2) between 5.5 and 8.0. Rooting depth of lucerne is constrained by poor soil structure, acidity, compaction, salinity and waterlogging. Lucerne can increase the capacity of soils to store water b
