Manure Applications to Alfalfa
Type: Link
Description: Reasons to Apply Manure to Alfalfa:
* Alfalfa requires high phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) soil fertility and has a high demand for these nutrients.
* Alfalfa can benefit from the micronutrients in manure, particularly boron.
* Alfalfa removes large amounts of nitrogen (N) and K from the field when harvested as hay.
* Alfalfa has the ability to draw down nitrate levels within its root zone.
* Forages like alfalfa have low erosion, nutrient runoff and nutrient leaching potential.
