New Alfalfa Combats Winterkill BUFFALO, N. Y.—When it comes to find ing the right alfalfa for use on heavy ground where winterkill is a concern, experts say that a new highly dormant alfalfa variety called Flagship 75 is just what Northeastern dairy farmers need. “Essentially Flagship 75 benefits forage growers by matching fall dormancy and dis ease resistance to the demands of heavy soils prone to alfalfa winterkill,” said Drew Kin der, owner of Buffalo-based Kinder Seed, Inc., exclusive marketer of Flagship 75 alfalfa. “Years ago many alfalfa acres in New York and New England were seeded to varieties like Iroquois, Vernal, and Narragansett, which had a fall dormancy rating of 2. These old varieties shut down top growth relatively early in the fall, encouraging growth of roots and crowns prior to the onset of winter,” Kin der said. “By 1992, only 7 percent of the 90 alfalfa varieties listed in the Cornell Recommends were as dormant as these older varieties. All the varieties have improved disease resis tance, but 93 percent have a fall dormancy rat ing of 3,4, or 5, indicating top growth that continues latbr into the fall,” Kinder said. “It is the classic tradeoff between roots and shoots. Flagship 75 concentrates fall growth in its roots while less, dormant alfalfas con tinue to produce top growth, ,J said Kinder. Flagship 75 carries the highest rating against Phytopthora root rot, a disease com monly found in heavy soils in the Northeast “Big, healthy roots under wet growing con ditions give Flagship 75 the ability to survive where other alfalfas thin out” Kinder said. Flagship 75 is a new multifoliate alfalfa. Standard trifoliate varieties produce three leaves at each petiole. New multifoliate var ieties produce extra leaves at some portion of the petioles. Tests show that Flagship 75 has a 75 per cent multileaf expression, giving growers a high leaf-to-stem ratio and improved forage quality, according to Kinder. Flagship 75 alfalfa is available from lead ing independent agribusinesses in the North east For more information, contact Kinder Seed. Inc., PO Box 398, Buffalo, NY, 14225, (716)891-8955.
