DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Irrigation of Alfalfa in Imperial Valley Seeding - Alfalfa can be satisfactorily broadcasted or seeded with a drill. Experiments have so far indicated that drilling is the prefer able practice, if the seed is not planted too deeply (not deeper than one-half inch in heavy soils, or one and one-half inches in light soil). Some remove the seed tubes from behind the drill discs in order to pre vent this deep seeding, especially where the land is to be irrigated immediately after planting. October is considered the best month for planting, although alfalfa can be successfully sown at almost any time between October 1 and April 15. The heavy content of silt in the irrigation water during periods in the fall is the greatest Objection to fall planting, while the heavy Winds often cause much trouble in the Spring.
