The First FD6 Release of a HarvXtra®Alfalfa Product
HarvXtra® Alfalfa gives growers the ability to better manage the yield-versus-quality tradeoff. It offers more flexibility in cutting schedule to achieve improved forage quality or greater yield potential, when compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity
The HarvXtra® technology provides unprecedented flexibility by widening cutting windows, which gives growers the option at each cutting to: – Maintain their normal harvest schedules for higher-quality forage, or – Extend harvest for up to 10 days for increased yield potential, without sacrificing forage quality, compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity
Data come from FGI trials comparing HarvXtra Alfalfa with Roundup Ready Technology to commercial checks. Seeded Fall of 2015 in Davis, Los Banos, Canyon. Data collected 2016-2019 in Davis and Los Banos, 2016-2017 in Canyon in 2015 trials.
