Lathco flat pea. These
forage varieties are being
tested for productivity,
persistence, and forage
quality.
Arc, Saranac, and WL3II
are alfalfa varieties
carrying resistance to
Southern anthracnose, a
relatively new alfalfa
disease. Leo birdsfoot trefoil
is a new variety from
Canada and Dawn is from
Missouri, whereas Kenstar
is a new red clover variety
from Kentucky. Lathco flat
pea is a new legume par
ticularly adapted for ground
cover to control soil erosion.
Similarly, red clover plots
harvested at different
periods in the late summer
and early fall during the
seeding year will be seen.
These plots demonstrate that
hay yields can be increased
by over 1 ton per acre by
using a pre-emergence
chemical and early August
clipping during the seeding
year.
A new warm season
perennial grass commonly
grown in U.S. western range
country, switchgrass, will be
seen in comparison with
such cool season grasses as
timothy, orchardgrass,
smooth bromegrass, and tall
fescue.
