Topdress Alfalfa
For Top Yields

Don't lei Il lack Of plant food
be the cause OF low alfalfa
yields. cautions J F. Shoulder.
associate agronomist with the
Agricultural Extension Service
Virginia Polytechnic Institute.
II you did not topdresS your al
falla last fall When treating for
the alfalfa Weevil do 50 between
now and the time growth starts.
Or. make plans to topdress ii inn
nediately following the first cut
ting.
Last year Virginia alfalfa
growers averaged 2.5 tons of al
falfa per acre. This yield, al
though one of the higher ones for
the state and about one fourth
ton above the ten-year average.
is still too low for really efficient
production
Recommended varieties grown
by the Virginia Agricultural Ex-
pertinent Station have averaged
more than four tons per acre
over the past 10 years. Why this
one and one-half ton per acre
difference? Much of the alfalfa
on farms does not receive enough
plant food as annual topdressings
while the alfalfa at the Expert
ment Station is adequately top
dressed.
Alfalfa should be topdressed
with fertilizer each year, Shout
ders SAYS. Good stands should re-
ceive from 50 to 100 pounds of
phosphate and from 100 to zoo or
more pounds Of potash per acre
plus boraX. These nutrients can
be obtained from the application
Of 600 to 1000 pounds per acre Of
0-I0-20. 0-a-27 or 0-l4-l4 fertilizer,
or from $50 to $50 pounds OF 0-l8-
26 or 0-25-25 per acre. Fertilizer
with bo4'ax should be used.
Use soil test results to help you
decide the rate and analysis to
use. Shoulders advises. County
agents have full information on
getting soil tests made.
