Wilt Resistant Varieties of Alfalfa Developed
Wilt resistant alfalfa varieties have been developed enabling more farms to grow the crop. Researchers from the University of Illinois identify TurKestan alfalfa strains with high wilt resistance and note these varieties are hardy. Until seed is plentiful, farmers should avoid replanting on wilted ground, avoid cutting wet plants, prevent water flow from infected to new fields, and cut new fields before old ones when harvesting simultaneously.

Variety of Soils Will Produce Soy Bean Crop
Soy beans grow on a wide range of soils from light sands to heavy clays with best crops on heavy loams if drainage is good. Lime helps some fields though acid soils with adequate phosphoric acid and potash also yield well. Being a warm weather plant, seed should wait until frost risk ends. July 3 sowing can work for silage or hay if seed is not desired.
Traps Painted Green Capture Most Beetles
USDA tests show green traps captured more Japanese beetles than others over 16 days. With forty four traps, four per color, movement every other day ensured color effects prevailed despite location shifts.
