Turkestan alfalfa seed deemed unsuitable for Iowa
The farm crops department at Iowa State College warns Turkestan alfalfa, though wilt resistant elsewhere, is inferior in Iowa due to leaf diseases reducing yields. The U S Department of Agriculture will stain Turkestan seed purple red after March 27. Turkestan yields lag Grimm and other alfalfas in the first year, with about 10 percent less in years two and three, while stands can last longer. Common alfalfa remains more profitable where wilt is absent or mild.
