Other claims from this paper (7)
- Method / resource Entry differences were greatest at −12 and −16°C.
- Association Crown injury score correlated positively with winter injury at r = 0.95.
- Association Root injury score correlated positively with field fall growth at r = 0.87.
- Association Root injury score correlated positively with winter injury at r = 0.95.
- Association Plants with root diameter above 10 mm had less cold injury than small plants.
- Association Plant size correlated most strongly with winter injury at low freezing temperatures.
- Recommendation Authors propose testing similarly sized, field-hardened first-year alfalfa at −12 to −16°C for 1–2 h and scoring regrowth after three weeks.
