![]() ADAPTATION How alfalfa growers maximize the agronomic and economic advantages of planting an alfalfa with bred-in StandFast® traits on their farm: |
|
|---|---|
| Fast Growth trait, grows at an average of 2.0cm/day vs. 1.5cm/day for most widely grown conventional varieties. | |
| Harvest during the late bud stage is recommended to maximize economic yield. | |
| Best adapted to multiple cut harvest systems across the production zones where fall dormancy 3 or 4 varieties are normally recommended. | |
| No observed soil type limitations. | |
| Expect alfalfas with StandFast traits to reach first harvest maturity 3 to 5 days ahead of current varieties of the same dormancy. | |
| Equally well adapted to short, medium or medium-long rotations. | |
| Expect the forage quality of alfalfas of the StandFast traits to be similar to conventional varieties at the same stage of maturity. | |
