T G2 was added into file in front of the flattening (P24), burial (P25), and resurfacing (P26) factors because the area affected is less than 1.0 and
T the RUSLE values were normalized to 1.0.  This change will imulate the correct residue changes based on the method set forth in RUSLE.
T RUSLE's factors have been redused to based on the area affected.
T The stalk fall rate factor (P34) was moved ahead of the new (G2) factor to set the fall rate to the  less than 1.0 area affected.  8/8/07 MAS

T Values of Specific leaf weight measured in the paper varied from 2.15 to 4.3, with early season growth mostly in the area of 2.15 to 2.72 mg/cm^2
T Conversion to m^2/kg is * 10^6 mg/kg * 10^-4 m^2/cm^2 = 100 / mg/cm^2
T
T 2.15 mg/cm^2 = 100 / 2.15 m^2/kg = 46.5 m^2/kg, 100 / 2.72 = 36.8, 100 / 4.3 = 23.3

T Stem densities for the MO94 study (data not presented) were not different among seeding rates at any sampling time. There were 623 stems m–2 13 MAP
T and only 350 stems m–2 by 25 MAP. Stem density remained nearly constant at that level through 49 MAP. During the same time period, plant density
T declined from an average of 100 down to 25 plants m–2. This means that there was a fourfold increase in stems per plant from 25 to 49 MAP during
T the same time period. Thereafter, stem density continued to decline to 290 and 260 stems m–2 at 63 and 73 MAP, respectively, while plant density fell
T below 15 plants m–2 during the same time period. Crowns develop stems in response to light (Cowett and Sprague, 1962) and apparently could not
T continue to maintain high stem density with the thin stand and older plants.

T The biomass adjustment factor has been set to 1.0 from the 0.6 that Fred had.  The biomass conversion eff factor was moved from 30 to 24 to match yield
T of the standard alfalfa run in Moses Lake, WA and now in Yuma, AZ.  The record runs a little under the 6 ton/ac yield in ML, and somewhat over the 10 t/ac for
T Yuma.  The seed weight was increased from 0.00007 to 0.0006 to increase the intial growth of the fall planting.There is about 1500 lbs of growth going into
T winter in WA and about 2400 lbs/ac at the first harvest in AZ.    Yuma will need to lower the Biomass Adjustment factor to 0.8 to get the 12 t/ac yield needed.
