Which type of crop is alfalfa classified as?

Winter annual
Summer annual
Perennial
Biennial

The correct answer is: Perennial

Alfalfa is classified as a perennial crop because it has a life cycle that lasts for multiple years, typically producing forage or seeds for three to five years or longer under good management conditions. Perennial crops establish a robust root system that allows them to regrow each season after being cut, providing a reliable source of biomass and nutrients over time without needing to be replanted annually. This characteristic makes alfalfa particularly valuable in agronomic terms, as it can help improve soil health, reduce erosion, and offer consistent yields for livestock forage or other agricultural uses.
