Alfalfa is recognized for its resistance to climate change, capacity to endure both extremes of temperature, and tolerance for drought. Alfalfa also produces high-quality herbs and is used for hay, grazing, cover crops, and green manure. Additionally, this crop supports soil fertility. Depending on the inputs and chosen variety, it can produce between 8 and 16 tons per acre each year between November and July in seven to eight cuttings. This can last for up to three years. It is a versatile fodder crop that can increase the production of cattle in the United Arab Emirates by offering up to 17%-22% crude protein and 62% of all digestible components. The crop's quality and yield can be improved with the proper cultivation methods, which would ultimately boost the nation's GDP.
