The USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture has announced new funding opportunities through the Alfalfa Seed and Alfalfa Forage System Program (ASAFS). Proposals submitted to ASAFS should address one or more of the following priorities:

  1. Improving alfalfa forage and seed yield through better nutrient, water and/or pest management;
  2. Improving persistence of alfalfa stands by lessening biotic or abiotic stresses;
  3. Improving alfalfa forage and seed harvesting and storage systems to optimize economic returns;
  4. Improving estimates of alfalfa forage quality as an animal feed to increase forage usage in animal feeds; or
  5. Breeding to address biotic and abiotic stresses that impact forage yield and persistence and the production of seed for propagation.

The application deadline is May 2. For more information, click here.
