Variety traits
Alfalfa plant height
Medicago sativa L.
An important morphological trait determining green mass productivity and seed yield, which is usually measured at the budding or early flowering stage.
In the reference 79 varieties crop Alfalfa, where this is mentioned in the description.
For Medicago sativa, the typical height range is 60–120 cm, while breeding lines can vary from 60 to 145 cm. Tall blue-flowered alfalfa significantly exceeds Medicago falcata in this metric, as the latter is classified as a low-growing form.
Plant height is closely correlated with green mass yield; however, excessive growth shows an inverse relationship with leafiness, leading to coarse forage and reduced protein content. Furthermore, plant height affects lodging resistance when fertilizers are applied and serves as a key indicator for selecting harvesting strategies.
