Best known as an animal feed, Alfalfa "Medicago sativa" is one of
the most important and widely produced livestock crops grown
throughout the temperate world. "Alfalfa and Relatives: Evolution
and Classification of Medicago" provides an in-depth introduction
to the "Medicago" genus, exploring its evolution, breeding and
adaptation. Not only are Alfalfa's agricultural and environmental
benefits unsurpassed but, due to technological advances, this
staple crop is now being developed as a source of human food
extracts, pharmaceuticals, enzymes, industrial chemicals, and
biofuels. Through this detailed text, the author defines the
ecological applications of the plant while carefully illustrating
its economic value and its growing importance as a genetic
resource. This is a co-publication with NRC Research Press.
