Book Description
Field experiment was carried out at Mizan ATVET College demonstration field from March to April during 2008 cropping season in Bench district, Bench-Maji zone, Ethiopia to determine the effect of intercropping alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) with maize (Zea mays L.) on yield and yield related traits of maize and on biomass production of alfalfa. Maize variety, Katumani was used for the experiment. Two intercropping patterns (broadcast and row intercropping alfalfa and maize) and three alfalfa cutting intervals (15, 20, and 25 days), two sole (broadcast and row) cropping of alfalfa and maize were set for the experiment and were laid in randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The results of this experiment showed that among the intercropping patterns and cutting intervals combinations, the combination with row intercropping pattern and alfalfa cutting at 25 days interval was found to be the best to the study district.

Book Description
Alfalfa is considered the “queen of forages” because it is high yielding, high in forage quality, a persistent perennial, and resistant to many pests and diseases. Because of these qualities, alfalfa is not a crop that is typically thought to benefit from overseeding or companion cropping. However, overseeding can enhance your yield and the quality of your stand, and companion cropping may hold significant pest-management advantages. Find out when and why you may want to overseed or companion crop to reap these benefits. Inside you’ll find information on: • Factors to consider for overseeding including selecting the right species • Seeding dates and rates for various crops used in overseeding • Harvest compatibility • Risks and benefits of companion cropping • Various possible companion crops • Pest interactions in mixed alfalfa crops • Quality, market and economic considerations of mixed alfalfa crops This concise, easy-to-use, 31-page guide is profusely illustrated with 31 color photographs and 12 tables.
