Yellow-flowered alfalfa improving semiarid grasslands

More than 100 years after an explorer first brought yellow-flowered alfalfa from Siberia to North America, South Dakota State University (SDSU) scientists are exploring one of his century-old ideas: Use it to boost the nutrition in semiarid grasslands.
Specifically, SDSU scientists are exploring whether yellow-flowered alfalfa can improve the quality of grazing in pastures of crested wheatgrass. Crested wheatgrass is a non-native, cool season grass that offers livestock good nutrition early in the year but isn’t as nutritious or palatable as temperatures warm during the summer.
