One of the characteristics is they contain genetic material (DNA), which is a characteristic that all living things must have in order to be considered living.   And also wâ¦hen inside a host, they are able to reproduce, which all living things must be able to do. Hasmida Muhamad.
When milk prices are low, dairy producers begin to look for ways to reduce the direct input expenses of growing alfalfa. One option that growers have is to purchase lower cost alfalfa seed. Alfalfa seed of modern varieties can cost over $4.00 per pound, while older varieties can be purchased for $2.00 per pound or less.
Table 3. Seed cost for 150,000 seeds/acre with different seed sizes and costs/bag. If the seed size is 2,000 seeds per pound, the cost of 150,000 seeds per acre is $21/acre (@ $14/bag) versus $36/acre (@ $24/bag). This difference of $15/acre is a significant increase per acre due to different seed costs per bag at the same seed size. With the seed size of 4,000 seeds per pound, and 150,000 seeds per acre, the cost ranges from $10.50 (@ $14/bag) to $18.00 (@ $24/bag).
