Other claims from this paper (9)
- Intervention effect Adding Stride to Vernal increased first-year alfalfa yield by 1.7 mt/ha.
- Intervention effect Stride–Vernal yield did not differ significantly from Vernal alone in the second harvest year.
- Observation Moapa plants died during the first winter after seeding.
- Intervention effect Moapa–Vernal blend yield was significantly lower than Vernal alone in the first harvest year.
- Observation Second-year yield differences between Moapa–Vernal blends and Vernal alone were smaller.
- Intervention effect Blends with 33% Moapa seed yielded about the same as Vernal alone in years three and four.
- Observation After Moapa died, remaining Vernal plants formed a stand nearly as productive as Vernal alone.
- Observation After Stride died, remaining Vernal plants were less productive than Vernal alone.
- Recommendation The studied blends offered little advantage over a single well-adapted variety.
