1, planting time

Spring and autumn are the peak seasons for alfalfa planting, and the good growth temperature of alfalfa is about 5~35 degrees. Sowing at this time can make the seeds grow better and grow at a good speed.

2. Sowing method

In most areas, the row spacing is 30 cm, which is beneficial to ventilation and light transmission and field management. The sowing amount is generally around 1 kg/mu, so there should be less farming and more saline-alkali land. If the sowing amount is too large, the seedlings will be sparse. Sowing depth is the key to affect the quality of seedling emergence, which is generally too deep, and the optimal depth is 0.5- 1 cm.

3. Growing environment

Alfalfa likes an environment with abundant sunshine, high water content and high air humidity. Therefore, when planting alfalfa, if it is planted outdoors, you must choose a sunny place, and also choose soil with good porosity, preferably fertile acid soil.

4. Harvest and utilization

Alfalfa can be harvested many times a year. Alfalfa is highly renewable and can be harvested 3-4 times a year. From spring to autumn, it can be harvested every 40-50 days, with high yield.
