Summary

The main object of the present investigation (season 1932) has been to secure as much information as possible concerning yield, composition and nutritive value from crops of lucerne already established in several different localities. This work may be considered as preliminary to the more systematic investigations which have been designed to begin in the season 1933.

The 1932 investigation comprised work on the following crops: (1) 4-year-old lucerne (variety Provence) grown on the Howe Hill University Farm at Cambridge. (2) 1-year-old lucerne (variety Provence) grown at Willingham, Cambridgeshire. (3) 1-year-old lucerne (variety Hungarian) grown on the Gravel Hill University Farm, Cambridge. (4) 4-year-old lucerne (variety Provence) grown at Tunstall, Suffolk. The season was characterised by its cold, wet, late spring and the prevalence of droughty conditions in June.
