Seed production management in lucem (Medicago sativa L.)

Lucern (Medicagosativa L.) is one of the forage plants which due to its various characteristics is called the "Queen of the Plants". It is said that annually about 128 million tons of lucern seed is required all around the world. On the other hand, the world's average seed yield per hectar is less than 200 kilo gram. Regarding several main points, this can be increased. So that an average yield of 2422 kg lucern seed yield is recorded. This is tried to present the ways of applying the maximum available potentials of the environment for lucern seed production in this article. For this reason, several factors which are involved in decreasing and increasing lucern seed yield are discussed.
