AFX 467 Hi-Salt Alfalfa is a salinity-tolerant variety offering high yield potential, persistence, and forage quality, even in tough, high EC soils or with high EC irrigation water. Its an excellent choice for the Great Plains and Intermountain West where salinity often limits production. This variety shows no yield loss in non-saline soils and matures medium-early for efficient harvest.
