- Observation Six-month-old alfalfa roots branched more at Brownstown than Champaign‐Urbana.
- Observation General combining ability differed significantly at Champaign‐Urbana.
- Observation Specific combining ability differed significantly at Brownstown.
- Association General combining ability interacted significantly with location.
- Observation Reciprocal and selfing effects were unimportant at either location.
- Observation Offspring on selfed-parent regression estimate was 0.128 at Brownstown.
- Observation Offspring on selfed-parent regression estimate was 0.002 at Champaign‐Urbana.
- Intervention effect Low moisture decreased incidence of branching roots.
- Association The genotype by moisture interaction was nonsignificant.
- Association Under moisture stress, height correlated positively with root branching, r = 0.81.
- Association Under moisture stress, weight correlated positively with root branching, r = 0.60.
- Association In unstressed plants, weight correlated significantly with branching root habit, r = 0.49.
