Alfalfa can be fertilized now By Brian Hal! SOIL. & CROP SPECIALIST CLINTON a+lA-RA September has been the traditional time for apply- ing fertilizer to alfalfa field. This was to apply enough potash to build winter hardiness in forage legumes. However, there is no reason why potash cannot be applied now after sec- ond or third cut, before September. Wet weather can hold up Septemberons someI Ifa regrovirtEmay lie ." to 12- 14 inches by the time the fertilizer gets on. Truck or tractor wheels can tramp down this growth and alfalfa may start regrowth from the crowns. This can weaken the roots and sometimes we see win- terkill or reduced vigour where the tires tramped the hay the fall before. Also, if the fertilizer doesn't get on until mid- October the alfalfa may not have time to build that fertilizer into the root sys- tem before winter. Quite a few farmers now apply fertilizer after sec- ond cut. The ground is usually firm then. Fertilizer suppliers often are not as busy and you can get the fertilizer on when you want it -- short- ly after the hay is off. There are no concerns with loss of phosphorus or potash if it remains on the surface while waiting for rain. Ap lying your fall it) serisse4stands will allow time for rainfall to move the nutri- ents into the soil enough for root absorption. Finally I would' like to encourage you to get out right away and get those soil samples from your alfalfa fields unless you had one in the past two years. With the recent rain, soil is soft and cores are easily taken. Soil sampling allow you to put your fertilizer dol- lars into the nutrients that will give you the greatest response. It is often tempt- ing empting in the absence of a soil test to apply muriate of potash and no phospho- rus. This program fits quite a number of fields". _in this area. However there are other fields out there that need aosphorus as well. On thew Idris, yields _ be by only appl pota:Ai, because of the' need for phosphorus. Bec au.J a of this, most don't g (Gale on only potash, big go to a more expensive phosphorus and potash mix. Alfalfa removes four times as much potash as phospho- rus fro in the soil. Since phosphorus costs more than twice that of potash per unit, it makes even more sense to soil test to get a fertilizer pro- gram tailored to each field.
