NEXGROW 6441HVXR
NEXGROW 6441HVXR alfalfa builds on 6439HVXR with improved UltraCut disease resistance, cold tolerance, persistence and HarvXtra forage quality. The first genetically enhanced alfalfa developed to maximize quality —15-20% increase in RFQ over conventional check varieties. Offers excellent harvest flexibility for optimal balance of quality and yield. Has shown a 20% reduction in lignin vs. competitive checks thus a greater RFQ of 20% and 17% higher NDFD. Features industry leading UltraCut™ alfalfa disease package that offers enhanced protection against evolving Aphanomyces strains and our patented Anthracnose technology.
HarvXtra® are genetically modified alfalfa products with the Roundup Ready® trait for improved forage quality, production and weed control. The technology maximizes forage quality by reducing the amount of lignin in the plant and enables growers to optimize their cutting schedules and maintain field cleanliness and productivity.
Roundup Ready® offers a significant establishment advantage for both yield potential and quality, as a result of improved weed control and crop safety. These varieties offer high levels of pure alfalfa and haylage through low acid detergent fiber (ADF), low natural detergent fiber (NDF) and high relative feed value (RFV).
The UltraCut alfalfa disease package helps you grow a healthy alfalfa crop even in field conditions susceptible to Anthracnose and Aphanomyces disease strains.
