Hedge lucerne is a perennial (7 harvest/year) green fodder crop; it comes up to 3-3.5 years. It's rich in protein (20-22 %) and good green fodder to goat, cow, sheep, rabbit & poultry etc. It also increases the weight gain and improves productivity of milk yield. It can be sown throughout the year under irrigation and rainfed crop. Spacing is 50x25 cm & form ridge and furrow type field preparation (should maintain like ridge to ridge 50 cm and plant to plant 25 cm) seed rate is 7-8 kg/acre in solid stand on the side of the ridges over the lines (follow either left or right side) at a depth of 2 cm and cover with soil. Irrigate immediately after sowing, light irrigation on the third day and thereafter once in a week. First cut on 85-90th day after sowing at 50-60 cm height and subsequent cuts at interval of 35-40 days at the same height. Number of branches per plant is 15-20. Green fodder yield is 100-115 ton/acre/year. Note: It is perennial multi-cut green fodder crop & lasts for 3-3.5 years. Pre-sowing Seed Treatment: 1.Acid scarification with conc. sulphuric acid @ 200 ml kg-1 of seed for 15 minutes 2.To have better germination, seeds must be treated in hot water at 80 degree C for 10 minutes. Then seeds should be soaked in normal water over night (12 hours). Seeds should be dried for an hour in shade before sowing.
