Extract

In the central Great Plains, late summer seedings of alfalfa have often been used in order to avoid the annual weed problem associated with spring seedings. Because moisture conditions are unreliable in the fall, development of techniques to reduce the hazard of annual weed competition in spring seedings offers considerable promise. The authors, in previous reports, indicated that materials that give adequate control of annual weedy grasses and broadleaved weeds are available. These tests were made on plantings of Ranger alfalfa.
