Twenty non - and very non - dominant alfalfa varieties were compared over three seasons. The top - yielding variety, Pioneer 5929, has maintained this position for the last three years. The yields decreased considerably from the previous year, however. Part of the loss can be attributed to the sacrifice of the first cutting because of damage by the Egyptian alfalfa weevil. Pioneer 5929 was the top -yielding variety during the entire trial, producing more than 30 tons per acre. Four other varieties produced more than 28 tons per acre: Ardiente by Agripro; Pierce by Northrup King, Palmer Special by the Palmer brothers of Graham county; and Safford 80 LH.

Four major non - dormant alfalfa varieties were tested over 1986 and 1987. No differences in yield or quality of the varieties were determined.

Ten alfalfa varieties ranging from very non - dormant to moderately dominant were compared over two seasons. Significant differences were observed between yields of top varieties from 1986 to 1987. Baron, the highest yielding variety for 1986 ranked 3rd in 1987, with Valiant moving from seventh to first in 1987. Overall yields increased from seven tons in 1986 to almost eleven tons per acre in 1987. The previous county average was 5.5 ton per acre.
