A poor weed management decision can lead to stand loss, poor quality hay, unacceptable weed control, alfalfa injury and a loss of money. Herbicides are applied to 75% of newly planted alfalfa in Calif...

What’s on the Horizon for Biotechnology in Alfalfa and Forage Grasses?

Biotechnology is concentrated in two evolving research areas, genomics and transgenics. For the genomics approach, molecular markers combined with sequencing data, high throughput machinery, and sophisticated data analysis, allow determinations of complex gene expression. The use of an annual relative of cultivated alfalfa, Medicago truncatula, as the reference species for all legumes is an imp...

Market Sensitivity and Methods to Ensure Tolerance of Biotech and Non-biotech Alfalfa Production Systems

Roundup-Ready® alfalfa was released in June of 2005, the first trait to be commercialized in alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) using biotechnology. Traditional alfalfa varieties will likely be grown in close proximity to these new biotech varieties. While most users will probably not be sensitive to the presence of these varieties, other markets (particularly export and organic) will request hay tha...
