AFX 457 Salt Tolerant Alfalfa

MOST ADVANCED SALINITY TOLERANCE 

PERFORMANCE

  • Carries the complete package for high yield, persistence, and forage quality when establishing and growing alfalfa on high EC fields or with high EC irrigation water
  • Adapted to all areas of the Great Plains and Intermountain West, especially where salinity limits the production of dairy quality hay
  • Aggressive seeding growth for rapid stand establishment with or without salinity

MANAGEMENT

  • No yield drag if planted into non-saline soils
  • Fits western production practices and geographies where fall dormancy 3, 4 or 5 alfalfas are grown
  • Medium-early maturity to fit late-bud harvest systems to maximize the harvest for the area each season
