Fungus Threat to New Alfalfa Fields in Wisconsin
Madison farmers sowing alfalfa this spring face Phytophthora root rot or wet foot disease.

Resistant varieties like Agate reduce losses, but even the best may be over 50 percent susceptible in heavy soils. A grow-out test from North American Plant Breeders helps detect soil infection.
