62 results about "Medicago" patented technology

Medicago is a genus of flowering plants, commonly known as medick or burclover, in the legume family (Fabaceae). It contains at least 87 species and is distributed mainly around the Mediterranean basin. The best-known member of the genus is alfalfa (M. sativa), an important forage crop, and the genus name is based on the Latin name for that plant, medica, from Greek: μηδική (πόα) Median (grass). Most members of the genus are low, creeping herbs, resembling clover, but with burs (hence the common name). However, alfalfa grows to a height of 1 meter, and tree medick (M. arborea) is a shrub. Members of the genus are known to produce bioactive compounds such as medicarpin (a flavonoid) and medicagenic acid (a triterpenoid saponin). Chromosome numbers in Medicago range from 2n = 14 to 48.

Fast planting and high frequency mowing cultivation method of alfalfa in desert edge windbreak-free forest

PendingCN122623575AWindbreakNutrient solution
This invention discloses a rapid establishment and high-frequency harvesting method for alfalfa cultivation on desert edges without the need for windbreaks, belonging to the field of sandy land ecological agriculture and forage cultivation technology. This method is suitable for shifting sandy areas on desert edges, eliminating the need for windbreaks. Early-maturing forage oats are sown in single rows in spring. After the oats reach a height of 10-20cm and form a windbreak barrier, drought- and salt-tolerant alfalfa is sown in rows between the rows. Drip or sprinkler irrigation is used, and nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium fertilizers are reduced by 20%-30% compared to conventional methods. Three to five days after each alfalfa harvest, a nutrient solution containing enzymatically hydrolyzed animal-derived small molecule peptides with a molecular weight <1000Da is applied with irrigation water. The oats are harvested in one go after maturity; the alfalfa is harvested frequently when the plants reach a height of 50-60cm, with 5-6 harvests per year. This invention utilizes oats for temporary wind protection, resulting in a lower than 15% mortality rate from wind and sand during the alfalfa seedling stage, enabling planting in the same year. The hay has a crude protein content of 19%–22%, a yield of over 1200 kg of hay per mu, and can be harvested continuously for 8–10 years. It is suitable for desert edge areas with annual precipitation <100 mm.
