The ability to fix nitrogen by alfalfa may reduce dependence on N fertilizer and improve forage quality of summer-dormant tall fescue pastures. But can these two crops grow together in semi-arid environments of the southern Great Plains?

This project is being conducted in cooperation with Dr. Twain Butler of the Samuel Roberts Noble Foundation, Ardmore, OK.
