Medicago sativa
AFX 469
AFX 469 Hi-Ton Alfalfa Seed is designed for growers who aggressively manage their established alfalfa fields, offering a remarkable 11% yield advantage over PGI 557. Its FastGrowth ability allows it to reduce the time between harvests by 3 to 5 days, maximizing seasonal yield. This variety boasts a strong winter survival rating of 1.5, making it ideal for production areas that utilize fall dormancy 4 and 5 alfalfas, especially when four or more cuts are anticipated each season. With very early harvest maturity, AFX 469 reaches late bud or early flower stages 3 to 5 days ahead of most dormant alfalfas. It exhibits average seedling yield performance when spring direct-seeded, and its rapid green-up after harvest accelerates growth to harvest maturity.
