Liming prior to fall seeding of alfalfa
Correcting acidic soil conditions through the application of lime can have a significant impact on crop yields, especially for alfalfa. Liming is one of the most essential, but often overlooked, management decisions a producer can make for alfalfa production.

Correcting acidic soil conditions through the application of lime can have a significant impact on crop yields, especially for alfalfa. Learn how to determine if lime is needed, the optimum rates and application method, proper timing, and sources in this article.
Allow time for lime applications when planting alfalfa this fall
Correcting acidic soil conditions through the application of lime can have a significant impact on crop yields, especially for alfalfa. Liming is one of the most essential, but often overlooked, management decisions a producer can make for alfalfa production.
Causes of yellow wheat - Soil fertility factors
Wheat producers may start seeing some wheat fields turn yellow during this time of the year. The pattern may vary from field to field, sometimes as large areas, small patches, or streaks of yellowish wheat in some fields this spring. This article goes into detail about some of the main causes of yellow wheat related to soil fertility.
Allow time for lime applications when planting alfalfa this fall
Correcting acidic soil conditions through the application of lime can have a significant impact on crop yields, especially for alfalfa. Liming is one of the most essential, but often overlooked, management decisions a producer can make for alfalfa production.
Liming soils for optimum wheat production
Problems of low soil pH are common throughout central and south-central Kansas. Strongly acidic soils may present several problems for wheat production, in particular aluminum toxicity. Where acid soils are causing a reduction in wheat production, plant growth and yield can be significantly improved by liming the soils.
Liming soils for optimum wheat production
Strongly acidic soils may present several problems for wheat production. These include aluminum toxicity and, in some cases, manganese toxicity, as well as deficiencies in phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and molybdenum. Where acid soils are reducing wheat production, liming the soils and raising the pH to an optimum range can significantly improve yield.
Allow time for lime applications when planting alfalfa this fall
Correcting acidic soil conditions by applying lime can significantly impact crop yields, especially for alfalfa. Acidic soils can significantly reduce nodule establishment and activity in alfalfa. Liming is one of the most essential but often overlooked management decisions a producer can make for alfalfa production.
Liming soils for optimum wheat production
Wheat fields across central and south-central Kansas are increasingly affected by acidic soils, often due to long-term nitrogen use. This article outlines the impact of low pH on wheat performance, how liming can restore productivity, and answers common questions on rates, timing, and economic return.
Plan ahead: Allow time for lime applications for alfalfa production
Soil acidity can significantly limit alfalfa performance for years. This article walks through lime recommendations, explains the economics and chemistry behind lime choices, and offers clear guidance to ensure your next alfalfa stand thrives.
