Breeding Yellow-flowered Alfalfa for Combined Wildlife Habitat and Forage Purposes

The objectives of our research were to: • evaluate a wide array of alfalfa germplasm containing varied levels of M. sativa ssp. falcata for traits related to suitability for stockpiling and nesting cover for game birds, •compare yellow-flowered cultivars and germplasms to conventional hay- and pasture-type cultivars for forage yield and quality in a delayed single-harvest / production system, and • develop, by phenotypic selection, one or more synthetic cultivars of yellow-flowered alfalfa that would have high forage yield, tolerance to potato leafhopper yellowing, prolonged flowering, and good leaf retention under a stockpiling management system until mid-July
