1. Influence of Phosphorus and Potassium Fertilization on Alfalfa Yields Under Intensive Harvest In the northern part of the North Central (NC) states cutting management schedule and adequate fertilizer are important factors in maintaining alfalfa stands. Recent work in Minnesota by Sheaffer indicates that fall cutting poses some risks to lon-term stand persistance but should be considered as a management alternative to allow greater harvest flexibility. He further states that stand loss can be greatly reduced by high levels of fertilizer (particularly potassium). The study I am reporting on... Download paper
2. Validating Potassium Fertilizer Guidelines in Alfalfa-corn Rotations In 2008 to 2010, on-farm research was conducted on 10 fields with medium soil test K (STK) to validate Minnesota K fertilizer guidelines by determining the effect of K fertilizer applications on alfalfa yield and quality in its last production year, and estimating the carryover of excess fertilizer K to first-year corn. We were surprised to find that no K fertilizer was needed to maximize alfalfa yield or overall forage feed value and quality. Luxury consumption of K occurred because as K application...
