Along with clover, alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) nowadays is the most common
source of forages with high protein content in middle and southern Russia. Influence
of Albit on alfalfa was studied on experimental plots of All-Russia Institute of Vegetable
Selection and Seed Breeding, 2001 (Moscow oblast). Alfalfa var. Severnaya gibridnaya
was grown on 0.5 hectares plots, with fourfold replication. Yield of green mass in control
was 76 centners/hectare on average; yield increase over control on Albit-treated plots
(50 ml/tonne + 40 ml/hectare) was 15 centners/hectare, or 19.7%. Albit also increased
yield of alfalfa seeds (0.7 centners/hectare or 17.3% over control, or 4.03
centners/hectare).
