Dactylis glomerata
Haymate XL
Haymate XL is a blend of improved mid-late maturing varieties best-suited as a companion crop to alfalfa or other legumes where seed heading dates are important. The maturity of Haymate XL parallels alfalfa, so harvesting with alfalfa in the 1/10 bloom stage can maximize yield and quality of both components.
Key features
- Medium-late maturity blend
- Great companion for alfalfa
