Description
Start with good pH, 6.5 or better.
Planting can occur with a nurse crop such as oats or wheat. This is because alfalfa is a perennial and is slow to establish.
Make sure you have 150 ppm of K and 30 ppm of P for high yield alfalfa.
Seeding depth is 1/4 to 1/2 inch. Ideally 3/8 of an inch if using a planter. Ideal stands would have 30-35 plants per square foot.
Drilling rate is 15-18 lbs per acre; Broadcasting rate is 20-25 lbs per acre.
Sow Mid April through May in the Upper Midwest. In Northern regions, plant closer to June. Seeding in cold conditons can reduce emergence and seed infections. Late plantings are like to suffer drought stress and suffer poor emergence. In the warmer climates, seeding in early September can be accomplished.
If you are planting later in the year, it is best to drill alfalfa since the seed has a high water requirment for germination.
