Description

Farm Science Genetics®. 476HVXRR Alfalfa gives growers the ability to better manage the yield-versus-quality tradeoff. It offers more flexibility in a cutting schedule to achieve improved forage quality or greater yield potential, when compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity. 476HVXRR alfalfa incorporates the UltraCut™ alfalfa disease package providing high resistance to multiple races of Aphanomyces and Anthracnose which leads to higher forage yields, better forage quality and longer stand persistence. The HarvXtra® technology provides unprecedented flexibility by widening cutting windows. 476HVXRR Alfalfa has on average 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. The Roundup Ready® Alfalfa Technology provides unsurpassed weed control with excellent crop safety.
