Lime for Alfalfa Yields From Indiana Experiments
A summary of Indiana agricultural tests over six years shows about 60 percent of alfalfa trials with lime did not yield more, while 40 percent produced over 2200 pounds of crude hay per acre in the first year. Results vary by soil.慎 trials suggest liming should start on a small experimental field to determine need and avoid wasteful expense. Soils only slightly acidic may respond to light lime, but timing and repeat needs may recur, affecting costs.
