Introduction

This 24-chapter publication is designed to provide detailed, scientifically-based comprehensive information about the growth, production, management, and utilization of alfalfa grown under irrigation.

This is a practical guide for alfalfa growers and industry partners, and is a companion to the University of California publication Intermountain Alfalfa Management, focused on the high-elevation valleys of the Intermountain West.
