Weeds can be a serious problem in both seedling and established alfalfa. Weeds compete with alfalfa for water, nutrients, and sunlight, thus reducing crop yields, shortening stand life, and lowering forage quality. A stand severely thinned by weed competition can never achieve its full yield potential.

Weed Control in Alfalfa outlines how a successful weed management program in alfalfa can assist a grower in realizing both increased quality and quantity. It explains the cultural and chemical control practices that can lead to a profit instead of a loss for the producer.
