Unlocking the Nutrient Value of Manure in Alfalfa Production with Natasha Rayne

Dr. Natasha Rayne explores how to unlock the full nutrient value of manure in alfalfa production. She begins with an overview of key nutrient needs in alfalfa—especially nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and boron—and explains how alfalfa’s high nutrient demand makes manure a valuable but sometimes challenging fertilizer source. Dr. Rayne discusses optimal nutrient guidelines, soil test interpretation, and how manure applications influence crop nutrition, winter survival, and stand longevity. She also highlights the risks of manure use, including compaction, weed pressure, and nutrient runoff, while reviewing research on application timing and low-disturbance manure injection. The session concludes with practical recommendations for integrating manure into alfalfa systems while protecting crop health and the environment. --- At University of Wisconsin–Madison Division of Extension, we are working to integrate accessibility into our web, video, and audio content.
