most important successful stand
establishment.
More often, mistakes made
during establishment significantly
hold back the potential yield of
high-quality forage stands. Rarely
can a new seeding be “thickened
up” effectively.
Forage producers should consider
all factors affecting successful stand
establishment before pulling the
seeder or drill out this spring.
Soil fertility man
agement is a
common mistake
during stand estab
lishment. For high
yields of alfalfa, a
soil pH of at least 6.7
to 6.9 is critical.
Countless research
and on-farm trials
show the dramatic
increases in yields
and stand life when
adequate levels of
soil pH are main
tained.
A soil test is the
only way to accu
rately determine soil
pH and fertility
levels. Lime should
be added six to 12
months prior to
seeding because lime
reacts slowly. Soil P
and K levels also
need to be moni
tored. Addition of
fertilizers and/or
manures must be
made prior to seed
ing.

• Faster Ground Speed
• Increased Capacity
• More Bales Per Hour
• Easy Operation
Poor weed control
prior to seeding can
drastically affect
forage quality.
Perennial weeds
such as Canada this
tle, quackgrass, and
dandelion must be
controlled. Often the
best time to control
these weeds is
during the season
prior to rotation to
alfalfa or other
forage crops. Many
herbicide options
exist for pure stands
of alfalfa or grasses.
Selection is reduced
when legumes and
grasses are mixed.
Refer to the Penn
State “Agronomy
Guide” for control
options.
Seedbed prepara-
tion is another im
port a n t
consideration. Con
ventional tilled
seedbeds should
provide a firm,
smooth, clod free
surface. Typically a
drag-harrow pro
duces a “loose” soil
surface. In place of
the harrow, use a
cultipacker prior to
seeding with a grain
drill to ensure
proper seed place
ment.
Take care to place
forage grasses and
legume seeds l A- to
Vz-inch deep. If
placed too deep, the
seeds will germinate,
