“We are now able to offer Roundup Ready® Alfalfa in dormancies to cover the country,” says Dwight Tuttle, National Brand Manager for America’s Alfalfa. “America’s Alfalfa is the only brand offering dormant and non-dormant Traffic Tested® Genuity® Roundup Ready® varieties. Traffic Tested varieties are bred to yield under the pressures of wheel and grazing traffic. Now with Roundup® herbicide tolerance, growers have a new tool to help increase yield potential and simplify weed management. Farmers will get the most production possible in their areas thanks to Roundup Ready® varieties ranging from 3 to 8 fall dormancies.
“AmeriStand 405T RR has characteristics similar to the popular AmeriStand 407TQ variety,” says Tuttle. “We are also offering Alfagraze 300 RR and Alfagraze 600 RR, which are bred from the original dual purpose Alfagraze variety. All our Roundup Ready® seed has been stored under ideal conditions and will test at 88 percent germination or better. America’s Alfalfa only offers high-quality seed and our Roundup Ready® seeds meet or exceed those high standards.”
