The need for a book on alfalfa, in
all its aspects as an important world crop, has been evident
for a considerable time. Stewart's Alfalfa-growing in the
United States and Canada was published in 1926, and has, ever
since, been the latest book on the subject for readers of
English. Yet its coverage was largely confined to North
America; and it is scarcely necessary to emphasize the
spectacular advances which have occurred since that time.
Alfalfa has almost certainly been the subject of more research
than any other single forage crop, and possibly of more than
all other forage crops combined; consequently, an extensive
literature has accumulated that is to be found only in
scientific journals and government bulletins.
It has not been easy to survey this literature and analyse the
information contained in it, and, at the end, the author is
left with persistent doubts as to the adequacy of his efforts.
But, probably, English-language publications have been fairly
surveyed, and fortunately they represent the major areas where
research has been most active. However, language barriers have
prevented similar detailed attention to work done in western
Europe, the Soviet Union, and South America, so that some
important research has doubtless been overlooked or has
received inadequate treatment.
