We found no difference in yield between 24.4 m alleyways and
monocropped alfalfa on the first cutting date for either the
establishment year or the following production year (Table 1).
Yield from the 12.2 m alleyways was significantly lower than the
other two treatments for both first cutting dates. Yield decreased in
the alleyways compared to the monoculture over the next two
cutting dates because yields decreased in a linear fashion from the
center of the alleyways to the drip line (unpubl. data).
