Book Description
A field study was established at the University of Wyoming James C. Hageman Sustainable Agriculture Research and Extension Center in 2020 and 2021 with the following objectives: 1) Identify the best grass species and optimum seeding ratio of alfalfa-grass mixtures for improved productivity and nutritive value; 2) Compare water productivity of alfalfa-grass mixtures under full and deficit irrigations; 3) Assess the impact of mixing alfalfa and grasses on alfalfa weevil infestation; and 4) Compare the net economic return from different seeding ratios and planting configurations of alfalfa and grass mixtures under full and deficit irrigations. Treatments included monocrop alfalfa, 75-25 ratio, 50-50 mixed row planting, and 50-50 alternate row planting of alfalfa with each of three perennial cool-season grasses (orchardgrass, tall fescue, and meadow bromegrass) under full and deficit irrigation. Under full irrigation, 75-25 mixture with tall fescue produced the highest two-year total forage dry matter while alternate row planting of alfalfa and orchardgrass produced the highest under deficit irrigation. Deficit irrigation impacted forage dry matter yield negatively. Monocrop alfalfa and mixtures were more water productive under deficit irrigation. Intercropping alfalfa with grasses at seeding ratio of 50-50 reduced alfalfa weevil numbers. Economic analysis revealed that 75-25 mixture of alfalfa and tall fescue under full irrigation produced the highest net present value. Although deficit irrigation reduced costs associated with irrigation, that did not result in high net present value compared to full irrigation. However, alternate row planting with orchardgrass under deficit irrigation produced similar net present value compared to the treatments under full irrigation.

Book Description
Forages: The Science of Grassland Agriculture, 7th Edition, Volume II will extensively evaluate the current knowledge and information on forage agriculture. Chapters written by leading researchers and authorities in grassland agriculture are aggregated under section themes, each one representing a major topic within grassland science and agriculture. This 7th edition will include two new additional chapters covering all aspects of forage physiology in three separate chapters, instead of one in previous editions. Chapters will be updated throughout to include new information that has developed since the last edition. This new edition of the classic reference serves as a comprehensive supplement to An Introduction to Grassland Agriculture, Volume I.
