Alfalfa is a crop that is affected by the growing environment and hydrothermal conditions, and yields fluctuate greatly. The same variety of alfalfa seed with almost identical traits, if planted in areas with different hydrothermal conditions, the yield varies greatly. Generally speaking, alfalfa produces about 4000 to 8000 pounds of fresh grass per acre.
The good time to plant alfalfa grass is in the fall or spring, if it is planted in the spring, it is usually chosen in the middle of March, if it is planted in the fall. Generally will be selected in mid-September, because this time of year the number of weeds in the ground will be less and less, the threat to alfalfa seedlings is also less and less. The sowing of alfalfa is usually chosen as strip sowing, and the row spacing at the time of sowing is about 30cm, and the depth of sowing is 1-1.5cm, which is just the right depth. Many people think that the root system of alfalfa can be rooted to very deep soil, and sow it deeper when sowing, in fact, this practice is completely wrong, which may lead to a very low germination rate of alfalfa. Before sowing alfalfa, you can carry out some seedling treatment, and then do not destroy the internal structure of the seed at the same time, shorten the time of seed germination.
