© 2024 W-L Alfalfas
- HarvXtra Alfalfa gives growers the ability to better manage the yield-versus-quality trade-off. 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
- Delay harvest for 5-7 days for increased yield potential, without sacrificing forage quality, compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity
- HarvXtra Alfalfa has 10-15% higher neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFd) than conventional alfalfa harvested at the same stage of maturity
