Alfalfa Varieties and Blends Evaluate for Illinois
An agronomist notes alfalfa blends are hard to judge due to varying seed origins. He recommends unblended, certified varieties like Buffalo Atlantic Dupuit Ranger and Vernal, citing trials support for Illinois conditions and cautioning that new names Intercross 300 Cody and FD-100 are true varieties. Main considerations include yield winter hardiness and disease resistance, with persistent watering and real act resistance also relevant for two-year stands.
