Download or read book Overseeding and Companion Cropping in Alfalfa written by W. Mick Canevari and published by UCANR Publications. This book was released on 2000 with total page 40 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alfalfa is considered the “queen of forages” because it is high yielding, high in forage quality, a persistent perennial, and resistant to many pests and diseases. Because of these qualities, alfalfa is not a crop that is typically thought to benefit from overseeding or companion cropping. However, overseeding can enhance your yield and the quality of your stand, and companion cropping may hold significant pest-management advantages. Find out when and why you may want to overseed or companion crop to reap these benefits. Inside you’ll find information on: • Factors to consider for overseeding including selecting the right species • Seeding dates and rates for various crops used in overseeding • Harvest compatibility • Risks and benefits of companion cropping • Various possible companion crops • Pest interactions in mixed alfalfa crops • Quality, market and economic considerations of mixed alfalfa crops This concise, easy-to-use, 31-page guide is profusely illustrated with 31 color photographs and 12 tables.

This book was released on 1998 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Weed control during alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) establishment is a primary concern of Midwest forage producers. Companion crops, such as oat (Avena sativa L.), have been used for alfalfa establishment to increase first year forage yields and decrease weed pressure and erosion risk. Using herbicides to establish alfalfa without a companion crop has also been effective. The purpose of this study was to evaluate eight establishment methods and determine their influence on dry matter production, botanical composition and herbage quality during the establishment year and the year following establishment.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 58 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Companion crops have been used in the establishment of alfalfa ( Medicago sativa L.) for many years to prevent erosion, reduce the impact of soil crusting, provide weed control, and increase total season yields. When the companion crop, usually a small grain, is seeded at rates greater than 40-lbs/A it can compete excessively with alfalfa for moisture, light, and nutrients. This competition can result in a reduced alfalfa stand and decreased alfalfa yield during the establishment year. A two-year study was conducted in northern Utah that evaluated total alfalfa yield and weed control using oats (Avena sativa L.), seeded at various rates, as a companion crop during alfalfa establishment. Oats were seeded at rates of 40-lbs/A or less. Yield and weed control were compared to a tank-mix herbicide treatment of 2,4-DB (1.0 lb ai/A) plus clethodim (0.12 lb ai/A) and an untreated control. Highest first cutting dry matter (DM) yield (77% oats and 21% alfalfa) was obtained when 40-lbs/A of oats were seeded with 18-lbs/A of alfalfa. Highest seasonal DM yield occurred when 10-lbs/A of oats were seeded with the alfalfa. Dry matter yield from this combination was 32% oats, 64% alfalfa, and 3% weeds. The 10-lbs/A of oats seeding rate also provided relatively high nutritional values for relative feed value (RFV), total digestible nutrients (TDN), crude protein (CP), and acid detergent fiber (ADF). The herbicide treatment provided the best weed control (>95%) and the greatest pure alfalfa content (>99%). Dry matter yield in the herbicide treated plots were the lowest in the study due to herbicide injury to alfalfa and lack of weeds and oats to add biomass. All treatments, (herbicide and oats), provided more than 82% weed control at first cutting and 71% season long weed control when compared to the control treatment.
