Spring drought can provide an advantage for weeds in alfalfa especially in newly seeded fields. Usually, glyphosate applications sprayed on Roundup Ready® alfalfa variety fields can be effective overcoming these emerged weed issues; but Roundup® isn’t the only good weed control option for alfalfa.
When weeds grow faster than stressed alfalfa, seedlings are robbed of moisture, nutrients, and light. Left uncontrolled; weeds can then thin stands, weaken plants, and lower yields. For broadleaf weeds, mowing may be an option while the alfalfa is growing slowly. Adjust mowing height so several leaves remain on the alfalfa seedlings after clipping to aid in alfalfa regrowth. However, if mower clippings would smother young alfalfa seedlings; then alternative herbicide may still be your best weed control options if Roundup® is not an option.
