Abstract

Agropyron cristatum cv. Fairway, A. desertorum cv. Summit, A. intermedium cv. Chief, and Bromus inermis cv. Carlton were assessed for hay production when growing with Medicago media cv. Rambler in various stand patterns (mixed, cross rows and alternate rows) and various row spacings (30, 60 and 90 cm). The highest production over a five-year period occurred at a 60-cm row spacing, when the seeding pattern was either cross or alternate. These two patterns isolated the alfalfa from the grass and resulted in an increased yield contribution from the legume. Regardless of the grass species used, the production response of the alfalfa to stand patterns was similar.
