AFX 579
AFX 579 Hi-Ton Alfalfa Seed is designed for growers focused on maximizing dry matter yield per acre through aggressive management and harvesting practices. This fast-growing variety significantly reduces the time between harvests by 3 to 5 days, optimizing seasonal yield and productivity. Equipped with a strong, multi-pest resistance package, AFX 579 protects your rapidly growing alfalfa plants in high-production areas utilizing fall dormancy 4 and 5 alfalfas. Its very early harvest maturity allows it to reach late bud or early flower stages 3 to 5 days ahead of most dormant varieties. With its quick green-up after harvest and accelerated growth to maturity, AFX 579 is an excellent choice for growers aiming for multiple cuts each season.
