[QUOTE="hayray, post: 821054, member: 3046"] Interesting info learned yesterday at the Forage Technology conference held at Michigan State University. MSU has has the longest term study on glyphosate resistant alfalfa to date. They planted prior to the 2007 court injunction, I think in 2005 was the first harvest year. Study results compared to controls and Velpar application plots showed no significant difference between RFV, persistance based on stem density counts and yield was slightly higer in non-treated fields. Was an eye opener since the non-treated fields with more weeds had the same RFV and slightly higher yields most likely because of of less bare ground and more plant growth. One season the treated fields had more weeds because timing of application with glyphosate was the key to control of invasive opportunistic species. [/QUOTE]
