Alfalfa\u00a0 local cultivar (Koly) was cultivated in three locations of each area. The improved technology package added was: 80 kg\/h super phosphate P<sub>2<\/sub>O<sub>5<\/sub>\u00a048% , 60 kg\/h of Urea N 46% and 20 kg\/h seed. Whereas the farmer practice was (seed rate of 15 kg\/ha and without fertilizing). Randomized Completely Block Design (RCBD) was used with three replications per location. Results revealed that improved technology packages significantly (P\u22640.01) enhanced values of: Plant height, tillers per plant, number of days to cut, and forage yield, with the percentage of 87.04%, 85.5%, 8.9%, and 147.4% , respectively over the control. Improved technology package got a high degree evaluation from the farmers in all locations with 66% over the control. Economic analysis showed that the application of improved techniques can make a net return of about 560.316 YR \/ha, which reveals an increase of 365.830 YR \/ha in revenue compared to the control.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Key words<\/strong>: Technology package, Alfalfa productivity, Climate changes, Revenue, Farmer evaluation, Yemen.<\/p>\n<p>Full paper in Arabic:<a href=\"http:\/\/agri-research-journal.net\/sjar\/wp-content\/uploads\/vol3no2p14.pdf\">\u0623\u062b\u0631 \u062d\u0632\u0645 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u0642\u0646\u064a\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u062d\u0633\u0646\u0629 \u0641\u064a \u0625\u0646\u062a\u0627\u062c\u064a\u0629 \u0645\u062d\u0635\u0648\u0644 \u0627\u0644\u0628\u0631\u0633\u064a\u0645 \u0644\u0645\u0648\u0627\u062c\u0647\u0629 \u0627\u0644\u062a\u063a\u064a\u0631\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0646\u0627\u062e\u064a\u0629 \u062a\u062d\u062a \u0638\u0631\u0648\u0641 \u0627\u0644\u0645\u0631\u062a\u0641\u0639\u0627\u062a \u0627\u0644\u0648\u0633\u0637\u0649 \u0641\u064a \u0627\u0644\u064a\u0645\u0646<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mohammed M.
