Next Generation Leafhopper Resistance
Tech Sheet
Product Benefits
PLH attacks reduce CP 2%, lower DM yield and reduce winter survival.
- If you don’t scout and spray for PLH, university extension forage agronomists recommend you plant a Highly Resistant variety, such as AmeriStand 404LH.
- Universities definitely recommend you plant a Highly Resistant variety when you plant oats as a nurse crop. PLH cause severe damage to alfalfa seedlings.
- Reduce risk of insecticide applications: beneficial insects survive, no delaying harvest, and avoid control cost of approximately $12/acre/application.
-
Up to $196.00 more yield/acre/year in a no-spray environment
