After four or five years In the same field alfalfa often begins to decline because It is autotoxlc, or produces something that hurts itself. Researchers: at the Agricultural Reasearch Service In Illinois are i researching the autotoxlc nature of alfalfa. "It's odd, but it may actually be some form of defense mechanism," says plant physiologist David L.Dornbos Jr. "Some chemicals in plants are produced to defend the plant against Insects, fungi and other plants. But in this case, we're not sure why the plant is autotoxlc." Dornbos and other researchers Et the Bloactlve Constituents Lab In Peoria, have Isolated the com from alfalfa pound medlcarpln roots and shoots and identified it as one of the culprit chemicals in the toxicity. -- $.'.: 'it V,;l 4 STERLING fessor and astronaut, will be the guest speaker at the banquet.

NEWS-KS- L 1 n, LIFE Medlcarpln reduced the height of alfalfa seedlings growing in vials by 40 percent after 72 hours. It also delayed germination for four hours and seedlings growth for 48 hours. During that time, the alfalfa seedlings detoxified most of the medicarpin. After 48 hours, when the amount of medlcarpln had been reduced 85 percent, seedling growth resumed at the normal rate. Dornbos says medicarpin maybe useful as a natural herbicide. "Because it occurs naturally, it is more likely this compound and others like It will degrade in the soil and reduce the ground water contamination problem," he says. So far, medlcarpln has been found to reduce the height of velvet -leaf seedlings, which are pests of soybeans, corn and cotton, but Dornbos says more work needs to be done before medicarpin can be turned against weeds.
