“Redesign” alfalfa? Brummer urges just that Alfalfa expert Charlie Brummer says it's time to "think about redesigning the alfalfa plant from first principles," after 40 years of frustrated efforts to increase yield. He made the remarks at a recent meeting of the North American Alfalfa Improvement Conference. Students also presented their research, including trials to grow the crop with less water.

🌱"Redesign" alfalfa for better yields, urges UC Davis expert Brummer at recent alfalfa improvement conference.
