Trial seeded at 25 lb/acre viable seed on Hanford fine sandy loam soil at the Univ. of Calif. Kearney Agricultural Center, Parlier, CA.
Entries followed by the same letter are not significantly different at the 10% probability level according to Fisher's (protected) LSD.
FD = Fall Dormancy reported by seed companies. Also, included in this trial were plots inoculated with 4 seed treatment combinations using alfalfa
variety 'Catalina'. These treatments include: Optimize Gold Plus (OGP), Rhizobia with an LCO promoter; An isoflavinoid (EM-09009); and
 Quick Roots (QR), a microbial seed inoculant.
