Twenty one alfalfa varieties with Fall Dormancy ratings of 8 or 10 were tested in a replicated small plot trial on the Safford Agricultural Center. The leading variety after four years of cuttings is Mesa (formerly known as 84D92, from MBS, Inc). Since this was the last year of the study, stand counts and stem counts were taken and reported in this report Heat units with thresholds of 77° F and 40° F are included for each cutting in the study.
