Lucerne / Alfalfa

Lucerne (alfalfa) is a widely cultivated forage crop grown for animal feed and seed production. During sorting and cleaning, common challenges include removing stones, dust, chaff, and weed seeds. Due to the small seed size, variations in seed weight and moisture content can affect cleaning efficiency, making precise processing essential for producing high-quality lucerne seed.
