AFX 460

AFX 460

AFX 460 is a high-yield alfalfa seed variety designed with Hi-Gest Alfalfa Technology, making it particularly well-suited for regions utilizing fall dormancy 4-5 varieties. This innovative seed has been developed through advanced breeding techniques, resulting in enhanced yield and forage quality. AFX 460 demonstrates improved fiber digestibility, leading to better animal performance compared to conventionally bred varieties. At harvest maturity, medium-tall plants feature a dense canopy of dark green leaves along the stems. This variety's robust foliar leaf disease package enhances its resilience, contributing to a high leaf-to-stem ratio and increased crude protein content. AFX 460 is adaptable to a range of production systems and has no known soil type limitations.
