Title: Survival of Young Plants of Several Alfalfa Cultivars and Strains to High Levels of Chloride-Salts
Abstract: A small, but significant, difference in chloride (salt) -tolerance was obtained in greenhouse tests amouna twelve alfalfa cultivars and strains that were derived from breeding programs in Arizona, New Mexico, and California. Salton was highest in survival while Zia and Mesilla were lowest. However, differences in plant survival were small. None of the alfalfa appeared to have a practical degree of salt -tolerance to combat the salt problems encountered under farm conditions.
