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
