The data on the yield of lucerne (Medicago falcate) when cultivated on agro-peat soils in the conditions of southern Belarus was presented. It has been established that the yield of green mass in 4 years of life averaged 422.9 centner per ha at sowing under cover and 472.4 centner per ha at bloodless sowing.
