Alfalfa lodging

samedi 24 juin 2017

I have a problem with my alfalfa lodging.  This is my fourth year growing alfalfa and nearly every cutting of alfalfa I have ever cut has been lodged.  I feel that I might be losing quite a bit of tonnage and quality when it is lodged because the lower leaves all turn yellow from a lack of sun and fall off.  Not to mention a pain to cut and many times end up with a shaggy stubble depending on how flat it went.  I dont think it is a variety problem as I now have three different brands of alfalfa and each one ends up lodging.

 

Is there anything I can do to keep it from lodging?  Also curious to hear if anyone else has this issue.
