The current research progress on alfalfa seed production in terms of yield components and the factors,such as climate,topography,planting density,irrigation,fertilization,pollination,plant growth,weeds and harvest time in China was discussed,and the problems existing in research work were analyzed as well.

Determination of canavanine in the alfalfa seeds;

After Lucerne seeds were treated with different electric field in five minutes, it was tested that the influence of electric field on the increment of root/seeding (FW),the bound water content, water potential and proline content of the seedling.
