Alfalfa continues to be world‐class leader for feed value for North American production agriculture, especially in the Intermountain West. Alfalfa yield will always depend on the amount and quality of irrigation water in the desert areas of this geography; however, proper nutrition related to available fertility is of primary importance. This unique study explores the potential of addressing in‐season applications of low‐salt liquid NPK delivered to alfalfa at the right time within a growing season and between cuttings.
