Abstract
Multiplication of new cultivars of lucerne must be rapid to keep abreast of new pests and diseases. The most important factor is to harvest high seed yields in the establishing year. Widespread use of alkali and leafcutting bees, and possible management of short-tongued bumblebees, should raise the pollination level to near maximum. Low seeding rates, early sowing, good early weed control, adequate pollination and insect pest control will be rewarding for seed growers, merchants and customers. Keywords: Seed production, Medicago sativa, Nomia melanderi, Megachile rotundata, pollination.
