- Product Performance
- The HarvXtra® Alfalfa trait maximizes quality by reducing lignin content.
- Superior fall dormancy with resistance to multiple pests.
- HarvXtra® Alfalfa also includes Roundup Ready® technology for unsurpassed weed control with excellent crop safety.
- Performance & Quality
- HarvXtra® Alfalfa provides, on average, 14 - 18% higher relative forage quality (RFQ) and Neutral Detergent Fiber Digestibility (NDFD) across cuttings than conventional varieties harvested at the same stage of maturity.
- Fewer cuttings have the potential for more yield over time, less stress and lower harvest costs. The HarvXtra® Alfalfa trait lets growers delay harvest for 7 to 10 days to increase tonnage without sacrificing yield quality.
- Producers can achieve at least 20% higher yield potential by delaying harvest at 35-day cutting intervals.
