Abstract:Warmer than normal late fall temperatures may change standard fall harvest management of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) in western Canada. The objective of this study was to evaluate forage yield and nutritive value of three types of alfalfa cultivars under different harvest managements. A field experiment was conducted from 2013 to 2017 using rhizomatous type (RR), cv. AC Yellowhead (M. sativa subsp. falcata), tap root type (TR), cv. Equinox (subsp. sativa) and creeping root type (CR), cv. Spredor 4 alfalfa (su… Show more
