2. The difference between white clover and alfalfa

White clover and alfalfa belong to different families, and their growth habits and forms are also inconsistent

Different families and genera: Trifolium pratense belongs to Trifolium pratense, which is a short-term perennial plant. It has high ornamental value, economic value and medicinal value, with elegant color and lasting and tranquil aroma. Alfalfa is a leguminous plant, belonging to the genus Medicago. It is an annual or perennial herb. It has high nutritional value and is rich in protein and mineral elements

Different forms: the leaves of Trifolium pratense are oval, palm like, slightly protruding, and there will be some "V" shaped spots on the leaves. Its corolla is white, milky yellow or light red, butterfly shaped, and its flag petals are oval. The upper edge of alfalfa leaves has fine teeth, the pedicel is very short, the flower leaves are very small, yellow or purple, in a head like inflorescence, and the flag petal is obovate or oblong

Growth habits: Trifolium pratense itself is relatively disease resistant, with strong invasiveness and competitiveness. It is not easy to be attacked by weeds. It can withstand both high temperature and cold. Alfalfa is resistant to cold, drought and cold and heat, but it is not as aggressive as white clover and is afraid of being invaded by weeds. Diseases and pests should also be prevented and controlled in time, otherwise it will seriously affect its growth and even lead to its death
