PR-660: 2013 Alfalfa Report

Garry Lacefield, Gene Olson, Ray Smith | November 15, 2013 (New)

Alfalfa (Medicago sativa) has historically been the highest-yielding, highest-quality forage legume grown in Kentucky. It is an important part of Kentucky's cash hay enterprise and is an important component in dairy, horse, beef, and sheep diets. Choosing a good variety is a key step in establishing a stand of alfalfa. The choice of variety can impact yield, thickness of stand, and persistence. This report provides yield data on alfalfa varieties included in current yield trials in Kentucky as well as guidelines for selecting alfalfa varieties.

PR-659: 2013 Kentucky Hybrid Corn Performance Test

Ron Curd, Cam Kenimer, Chad Lee | November 11, 2013 (New)

The objective of the Kentucky Hybrid Corn Performance Test is to provide relative performance estimates of hybrid seed corn sold in Kentucky.

PR-657: Soybean Management Verification Program, 2012

Jim Herbek, Chad Lee, Amanda Martin, Lloyd Murdock | March 29, 2013 (New)

The 2012 Soybean Management Verification Program (SoyMVP) enrolled 19 fields across Western Kentucky, providing ten direct comparisons between University of Kentucky recommendations and producers practices for soybean production. All fields were scouted weekly and recommendations were made on the university portion of the field based on established thresholds and observations from agronomic research. The objective of these comparisons is to validate university research and identify areas for more research.
