AFX 439

AFX 439 Hi-Ton Alfalfa Seed is a versatile variety engineered to maximize yield and quality under aggressive management practices. This variety features a strong disease and pest resistance package, including protection against stem nematodes, making it an excellent choice for western growers. Known for its high yield performance, AFX 439 excels in longer rotations and is well-suited to production zones across the U.S. where fall dormancy 3, 4, or 5 varieties are typically recommended. When managed intensively for dairy feed, it provides high-quality forage and boasts a rapid green-up rate after harvest. Additionally, AFX 439 is expected to perform exceptionally well in mixtures with cool-season grasses or other legumes.
