PreinoculatedAlfalfas are deep-rooted perennial legumes and areconsidered the oldest, most nutritious crop that is producedfor high quality forage. When choosing alfalfas consider theDRI (disease rating index), WSI (winter-survival index 1-6)and the FD (fall dormancy 1-11). The DRI is a disease ratingof each of the six main alfalfa diseases-the higher the rating,the more resistant the alfalfa. The WSI rates the alfalfas onhow they will survive wintering-the lower the rating the morewinter-hardy they are. The FD rating is based on how soonthe alfalfa goes dormant in the season. The lower the number,the earlier in the season the alfalfa will go into dormancy, thusprotecting it from cold climate winters. The higher the number,the later the alfalfa will grow in the season, thus giving warmclimate areas long season stands.
