Forage quality and physiological performance of mowed alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) subjected to combined light quality and drought

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) can dwell in water-deficient habitats, where it is difficult to predict dry mass (DM) production and forage quality due to understory transmittance. Mowing is a recommended practice for alfalfa populations under drought, but its effect on forested land receives less attenti...
