Alfalfa products offer the potential for
high yields, excellent forage quality and disease resistance.
HVX RR - HARVXTRA® WITH ROUNDUP READY® TECHNOLOGY
CORN ALFALFA
• Gives growers the ability to better manage the yieldversus-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 of each cutting for: a) maintain their
normal harvest schedules for higher-quality forage,
or b) delay harvest for 7-10 days for increased yield
potential, without sacrificing forage quality, compared
with conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity.
HERITAGE RR - ROUNDUP READY® ALFALFA
• The new benchmark for alfalfa technology
• High satisfaction rating among users
• Very fast recovery after harvest
• Great forage quality
• Widely adapted throughout the Midwest
• Excellent winter survival and persistence
• Averages 12-15% less lignin and 12-15% higher neutral
detergent fiber digestibility (NDFd) and relative forage
quality (RFQ) than conventional alfalfa harvested at the
same stage of maturity.
• Stacked with the Roundup Ready® Technology for
unsurpassed weed control with excellent crop safety.
HERITAGE RR Alfalfa is the next generation of Roundup Ready® Alfalfa and provides improvements to growers using this technology.
Heritage RR offers better winter survival than many Fall Dormant 4 alfalfas on the market. This leads to improved persistence and better
production over the life of the stand. Potential for improved weed control, better crop safety, increased yield, and better quality forage,
make Heritage RR the alfalfa of choice for anyone looking for value in their alfalfa. Grower satisfaction is very high and acres planted to this
type of alfalfa continues to increase throughout the United States. This variety is the first choice for growers looking for top production or
who commercially produce hay. If you like Roundup Ready® corn and soybeans, you will like Heritage RR alfalfa. If you are worried about
weed resistance, consider that alfalfa is cut 3 to 5 times a year and those weeds will be clipped off that many times during the season. Plant
Heritage RR alfalfa and take advantage of the freedom to harvest weed-free hay the first crop.

FLAGSHIP Alfalfa provides a combination of top production with high resistance to Aphanomyces root rot Race II (APH II). This leading
alfalfa will please growers by its resilience, high yield potential, forage quality and dark green color. Strengths of Flagship Alfalfa include
strong offense with excellent defense against all the major alfalfa diseases – including APH II. Place this alfalfa on fields where history
has shown difficulty in establishing alfalfa because of pressure from APH II and wet springtime weather. It will even shine under ideal
conditions on good ground without heavy disease pressure. This is an all-around solid alfalfa.
