The soil health benefits of growing a forage crop like alfalfa are well documented.
Traditionally a staple crop on livestock farms, alfalfa delivers increased biomass, especially in its root structure where the plant boasts a large tap root which contributes to soil health, while reducing compaction. There's also increased organic matter and water-holding capacity, more biodiversity and better nutrient cycling — all contributing to healthier, more productive soil.
But is it possible to feed alfalfa to even further increase soil health and yield? On this episode of RealAgriculture's Soil School, Mosaic technical sales manager Aaron Stevanus shares how alfalfa responds to fertility and what that means for the soil and a grower's bottom line.
