Little River, TX | Th National Alfalfa Association's Varieties listing for 2008 are finally on the Internet. look at the PDF file http://alfalfa.org/pdf/NAFA%2007-08%20Varieties%20Leaflet.pdf
Or if you rather step your way in starting at http://alfalfa.org/falldormancy.html
Or you can look at everything on their home page at http://alfalfa.org
I only found three new varieties that are even close to what I am looking for, here in the Central Texas Blacklands. None of these really rated high enough to be in our first choice list.
I guess the RR seed development sucked up all the talent that would have been developing conventional varieties! One variety that I thought might be valuable, one of the traffic tested ABI alfalfa's never has been listed. I wanted to use it for the more branched rooting character, hoping it would keep one of my soil types from cracking so much. It is a never mind now as I am putting coastal in the worst for cracking soil and tifton 85 bermudagrass in a transition soil. | |
