Alfalfa, also known as alfalfa grass, has been attracting much attention, has been known as the "king of forage grass", perennial legume pasture, rich in nutrients, soft stems and leaves, delicious and delicious, palatability is very good, all kinds of livestock and poultry are the most likely to eat, is also the world's most important feed and pasture, because of the large gap, the planting area in the mainland continues to expand. Let's introduce the planting time and sowing technology points of alfalfa.
First, the sowing time of alfalfa:
Alfalfa grass sowing time is generally in the spring and autumn, the south to autumn-based, the north can be planted in the spring, spring sowing will generally choose in late March to June, autumn sowing in August to November, at this time the planting survival rate is the highest, of course, the temperature difference between the north and south is relatively large, according to the local temperature environment to choose the appropriate planting time, to ensure that alfalfa seedlings have a 2-month growth period before the frost comes, the stems and leaves and roots have sufficient nutrients to survive the winter.
Spring is the time when everything recovers, and summer is when crops grow the fastest. If alfalfa is planted in the spring, it must be controlled and controlled, the alfalfa planted in the autumn is well managed, the spring returns to green relatively early, it can grow before the weed germinates, it can effectively inhibit the growth of weeds, so that the field weeds will be less, and the management is more convenient.

Second, the sowing method of alfalfa:
Before we sow Alfalfa, we must also choose a good benchmark variety, the south chooses high autumn sleeping grade alfalfa, and the north chooses low autumn sleeping grade alfalfa, which can ensure that alfalfa can safely pass the winter in winter. Seeds should be dried to a day in advance before sowing, which can break its dormancy, improve the germination rate of seeds and the neatness of seedlings, alfalfa planting is mainly based on strip sowing and sowing, and the strip sowing distance is about 30 cm. Alfalfa seeds are relatively small, pay attention to the depth of sowing needs to be maintained at about 1-1.5 cm, covered soil 1 cm, should not be too thick, too compact soil alfalfa seedlings are difficult to unearth, so must be finely prepared.

Alfalfa can be harvested many times a year after planting, and can harvest 4 to 6 stubbles of fresh grass a year, but there is too much rain in the rainy season in the south, and it is necessary to pay attention to flood prevention in summer to avoid rotten roots. Alfalfa regeneration ability is strong, after multiple harvests a year, it can also be used for many years, planting once can be harvested for 6 to 7 years, very suitable as feed, for cattle, sheep, pigs, poultry are very fond of eating.

Third, the feeding value of alfalfa:
Alfalfa's high nutritional value, the level of crude protein content is also one of the important indicators of whether forage nutrition is good or not, and alfalfa is because of its high protein content, good quality, comprehensive nutrition, has been popular in animal husbandry, it is not only rich in protein, vitamins and minerals, but also rich in trace elements and amino acids, etc., is also irreplaceable by grass grass.
Alfalfa feeding methods are also more, not only green feeding, green feeding, but also easy to make into hay and hay powder, as well as silage forage, grass granular feed and grass blocks, grass bricks, to do winter and spring shortage feed utilization, the economic value is very high.
