What are the fodder's main agronomic qualities (grass/Lucerne) ?

Answer :
The plant's agronomic qualities are exceptional, a fact no scientists dispute.

First of all, it is a perennial crop. This means it is planted for several years thus avoiding naked soils between crops. It is common knowledge that naked soil encourages soil leaching.

These crops avoid soil compacting and leaching. They do not require any, or only very little, phytosanitary treatment due to their harvest schedule.
