Reseeding or Thickening Thin Alfalfa Stands

G1993
Published 2010

Alfalfa stands often last 5 to 10 years, depending on the number of cutting per year, variety, fertility, and moisture. During this time, plant density continually declines and eventually becomes too sparse to maintain satisfactory yields and remain economically viable. Several factors should be assessed when determining your options for reseeding or thickening thin alfalfa stands. This publication covers barriers to new alfalfa, and recommendations for renovating stands and direct interseeding.
