The researchers collected data at three different locations in Belgium during period of three years. They did not only have a look at the potential yield but also the nutrition value of alfalfa-grass mixtures and the overall purpose with the project was to increase self-sufficiency at farm level.

The yield in an alfalfa-grass mixture was compared to straight alfalfa, cocksfoot, tall fescue and bromes. The result clearly revealed a higher yield in alfalfa in straights and alfalfa-grass mixtures compared to grass alone.

Furthermore, it is worth to notice that the research project also revealed a higher yield at all three locations for alfalfa-grass mixtures in periods of drought.
