Under good management, two to three cuttings can be made, providing good weed control is achieved. Uniform application and incorporation of preplant herbicides, such as Eptam or Balan, is important. Preplant herbicides are recommended as first choice for weed control, but several post-emergence herbi cides, such as Roast and 2,4-DB, are also very effective when used correctly. To ovoid erosion, it is best to direct seed alfalfa on only flat or gently rolling land. Before seeding, check the field herbicide history and avoid those that have received Atrazine at more than 1.0 Ib./ac. of active ingredi- ent in the prev- ious 12 months.
