Alfalfa Variety Demonstration at the Safford Agricultural Center, 1990

Abstract

Yields are given for 22 varieties of alfalfa grown at the Safford Agricultural Center. Yields were 2 to 3 tons lighter than those in 1989. Mecca retained its number one position with a yield of 8.86 tons per acre and a total of five varieties had yields above 8 tons per acre. It is of interest to note that three of the top five varieties were developed by the Plant Genetics group in California.
