Alfalfa is grown in all 23 counties within Wyoming, consuming some 628,000 acres and afflicted by 16 different disease-causing organisms. Seedlings as well as seeds, stems, leaves, and roots of older plants all serve as food sources for these attackers.

Alfalfa Disease Management includes photographs of plants suffering from diseases and explains the characteristics to look for and the control practices that are recommended.
