Alfalfa Type
Developed for Use
On Coastal Lands

The development of a new variety
Of alfalfa adapted to the Southern
coastal plain area has been an
nounced by the Virginia Agricul-
tural Experiment Station. The new
variety was developed at the James
City branch station at Williamsburg
by r. P. Cooke, one of the pioneer
investigators of alfalfa.
According to Mr.. Cooke, the new
variety was the outcome of expert
ments with the use of boron in
growing alfalfa. He said investiga-
tionS disclosed boron is essential to
successful alfalfa production.
Development of the new variety
began in 1887, when Mr. Cooke
seeded Kansas common alfalfa
without borax application. Since
the soil was deficient in boron, most
of the plants died.
However, Mr.. Cooke noticed that
a few of the plants lived and in 1910
produced a fair" set of seed. The
seed from 10 or II of the better
plants was saved, composited and
soWn, and the seed from the new
plants was harvested.
Tests Prove Merits.
Mr.. Cooke said that by last year
seed supplies had increased sufh-
ciently to permit planting we'll
defined experiment plots, comparing
the new variety with the best
varieties available.
although these experiments have
been under way only for year." he
said, "the results, together with
certain measurements and observa-
tions OF previous years, prove the
merits of this new alfalfa"
The new alfalfa seems to be
particularly adapted to the coastal
plain areas, but also promises to be
one of the better varieties over a
wide range of soil and climatic con-
ditions, Mr.. Cooke said.
Experiments at Blacksburg, Glade
Spring and Charlotte Court House
show this alfalfa to be one of the
highest yielders Of these locations
Not Immune to Disease.
Unfortunately this alfalfa is SUBJ
ject to the same two diseases, black
stem and leaf spot, as Kansas COM
mon. However, it is no more sus-
ceptible and under most conditions
slightly less so than Kansas COM
mon.
Being of Kansas common origin
this alfalfa may be susceptible to
bacterial wilt However, a survey
made in 1945 indicates, with the ex-
ception of isolated cases, this dis
ease has not as yet done severe dam
age. The new variety will be SUBJ
mitted to infection with bacterial
wilt this year and it is hoped that
resistance will be found.
Since seed production is hazard
GUS and uncertain under Virginia
conditions, plans are to produce a
limited amount of foundation seed
in the State and then send this seed
West, where seed production is more
reliable.
