Fig. 2. Shoot height in October (A) and predicted fall dormancy rating (numerals above bars) and winter injury score in April (B) of alfalfa populations selected for contrasting fall dormancy. The cultivars Mesilla (Mesilla-O) and CUF 101 (CUF 101-O) underwent three cycles of selection for greater (-L1, -L2, and -L3) or less (-H1, -H2, and -H3) fall dormancy. The cultivars Norseman, Saranac, Lahontan, and Wadi Qurayat were included to represent the range in fall dormancy found in alfalfa. Data were averaged across 2 yr. The least significant difference (LSD, P = 0.05) is provided.
