Hi Magman,what kind of weather have you just had? If the alfalfa has had a lot of wet it almost sounds like a leaf rot that could be air borne and I just checked alfalfa disease and I came up with "Southern Blight", a white cottony growth on the tips and stem with the plant turning brown. I have never experienced it myself but check "alfalfa disease" and do a search, it will give you some ideas about cause and I believe some remedy for it, there are several possibilities, let us know which one resembles your particular problem,sorry I can't be more help here but I have never had the problem, maybe Hugh McKay may have an idea, but the search will give you a lot of ideas, good luck..Mike in Exeter Ontario

I will have to check it better but I think like a blight It almost looks like frost damage. but I have never seen anything like this on grass. I am kinds wondering about the spray drift though. The neighbor has sprayed round up on his corn about 50 to 110 yards away in the last couple weeks. I will check it better and do some searching. I am in NY and the weather was warm and muggy last week and its been pretty good spring not to wet and not to alfull hot either.

Sclerotinia is a fungus that can produce white mould spots on a plant, hot dry weather will help get rid of it. Wet weather, wet ground will accelerate the fungal disease, this is just another possibility...Mike in Exeter Ontario

Could be spray drift or might be leaf hoppers. Leaf hoppers generally turn leaves yellow- brown though. A few years ago, we had Command damage- which turns leaves white. Of course, it also turned the horseweeds white.

Well I finally got off the tractor and looked close and it was eaten. The brown and white spots are from the plant dying where it was eaten
