Description

Fall Dormancy: 4.0
Winter Survival: 2.0
Disease Rating Index: 34/35
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.

Key Features

Hi-Salt variety
High yield potential, persistence and quality when planted in tough soils
Adapted to 4-5 cut management system
No yield drag when planted in non-saline soils
Excellent choice for the Great Plains and Intermountain West where salinity can limit production

Alforex Seeds by DLF™ offers a leading alfalfa lineup for North America, featuring elite genetics and technologies. Known for high yield and nutritional value, it supports greater productivity with advanced breeding and rigorous quality testing.

Hi-Salt® alfalfa varieties were developed for high saline areas in North America, as higher salt concentrations in the soil can lead to seedling loss. Through focused breeding, these varieties are able to reduce the impact of salinity by 2.0 to 3.0 EC (electrical conductivity) points. This cutting-edge technology allows growers to plant alfalfa in areas previously considered unsuitable.
