Narrative
A falcata type alfalfa with a high level of fall dormancy, rated at a 1 level. Very persistent when grown in mixed swards because it is competitive and has good winter survival ability. Long term experiments (more than 3 years) have shown that AC Yellowhead is a high yielding cultivar and is recommended to be included in pasture and hay mixes intended for long term productivity, particularly if a single cut hay crop is intended. Has moderate resistance to bacterial wilt caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. insidious and appears to have a form of field resistance to verticillium wilt caused by Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. insidiosus and appears to have a form of field resistance to verticillium wilt caused by Verticillium alboatrum.
