A study was carried out to determine the effects of liming and bacterial application on yield stability and longevity of alfalfa grown on acid soils. The field trial was conducted during 2004-2007. The experiment included four treatments: 1) 3 t of lime/ha, 2) 6 t of lime/ha, 3) inoculation of alfalfa seeds with Rhizobium meliloti, and 4) control (no lime or Rhizobium). The results of the study showed that application of 3 or 6 t of lime/ha significantly increased the yields of green forage and dry matter. The yields of green forage and dry matter were significantly higher in the treatments in which lime was used than in those in which no lime was applied. Also, the treatment with the higher lime rate outyielded the one with the lower dose by a significant margin over the studied period. Seed inoculation with no calcium application did not increase the yields significantly relative to control on the pseudogley.
