Fall Dormant Seeding
• Traditionally , it ' s recommended to plant perennial forages in the spring .
• When managing forage establishments in saline soils , spring moisture can inhibit early seeding due to below ground moisture or standing water in these saline areas .
• Fall application in saline areas is beneficial because those areas are drier in the fall , meaning there will be time to manage the area for weed control at seeding .
• Fall seeding allows utilization of spring moisture .
