Foliar Treatment
Timely harvesting of forages is important to reduce leaf loss and
minimize disease in the regrowth. There are no practical control
strategies available for leaf spot diseases in forages. Balance
the time of harvest between the optimum stage for highest protein
(bud stage in alfalfa) and the level of leaf spot disease, as leaf
spot can reduce the protein level in legume leaves.
