The effect of stand and moisture content on computed yields of alfalfa
1949
Kramer, H.H. | Davis, R.L.
Stands of alfalfa, determined by the number of 6-inch gaps in drill-seeded rows, were shown to be highly correlated with yields obtained in the first 2 years from seedings of the 1946 regional uniform alfalfa nursery. It appears that this method is desirable for the determination of stand differences. The influence of stand on yield was greater in the first than in the second year after seeding and is attributed to the ability of alfalfa partially to adapt to thin stands. Under the conditions encountered during the two years of this test, sampling each harvested plot for percentage dry matter in order to determine yield at a specified dry matter content appeared to be unnecessary.
