Alfalfa seed selections target yield and pest resistance

CALS West Seeds representative Doug Miller urged farmers at the Western Wisconsin Forage Council Field Day to pick alfalfa varieties combining high yield, strong pest and disease resistance, and good winter hardiness. He noted five major diseases and discussed seed coating as a long term investment, while UW Extension entomologist John Wedberg warned about potato leafhoppers entering Wisconsin and advised field scouting and timely treatment.

UW extension forage expert Dwayne Rohweder notes alfalfa should be cut pre bloom to maximize protein and digestible nutrients, boosting milk production and reducing grain needs. He cites studies showing higher milk yields with earlier cuts and better forage quality.

Alfalfa timing and cuts key to dairy yields say UW expert

Dwayne Rohweder of UW Extension notes alfalfa harvested pre bloom yields highest crude protein and digestible dry matter, while full bloom lowers both. He warns every day after early bud reduces milk per cow by a pound, urges late day cuts, and advises four cuts yearly with careful timing before winter.
