Abstract
1. Lucerne was grown in a glasshouse under different moisture regimes in order to determine the effect of soil moisture content at the time of defoliating on subsequent yield.2. Drought conditions were found to reduce yield in the short-term, particularly in conditions in which demand for water was high, but the crop subsequently recovered when supplied with ample moisture. Defoliation during a drought period showed no long-term effect on yield.This work was carried out as part of the programme of crop-husbandry experimentation at the University of Cambridge School of Agriculture, and the author welcomes this opportunity of thanking Mr F. Hanley, Reader in Crop Husbandry, for advice and suggestions.
