Alfalfa fall dormancy adaptation zones can vary from the above map, which should be used as a general reference. Local climates and individual variety characteristics affect variety selection.
In general, newer varieties with increased winter hardiness allow growers to plant varieties with a higher fall dormancy rating than in the past.
