• Vastly improved winter survival over other trefoil varieties
• Heaving tolerant
• High level of Fusarium wilt resistance
• Upright growth habit
• Earlier flowering than Norcen
• Fast recovery after cutting
• Higher yield over life of stand than other varieties
• Developed by Cornell University
• Performs on poorly drained soils

Widely adapted with proven performance, Pardee birdsfoot trefoil was developed by the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station in Ithaca, NY. This upright, hay-type variety has an earlier maturity than both Norcen and Viking. Pardee was derived from a mixture of trefoil varieties and plant introductions. This genetic material was selected for vigor and resistance to Fusarium wilt. The result is a forage with greater disease resistance, better stand persistence and higher yields. Pardee can be used on poorly drained soils but will perform well on good soils, too. It has vastly improved winter survival over other trefoil varieties and recovers quickly after cutting. All of these characteristics contribute to higher yields over the life of the stand when compared to other varieties. In 1999 yield trails in New York, Pardee was the highest yielding variety in the first production year, was 37% more resistant to Fusarium wilt than unselected experimental varieties and 17% more resistant than Norcen and had the greatest number of plants per square foot in the first production year.

• Resistant to leaf diseases and field viruses
• High forage yields
• Ideal for pastures
• Superior persistence
• Excellent seedling vigor
• Aggressive stolon activity
• Drought tolerant
• Widely adapted

Pinnacle is an exceptional ladino clover variety developed for today’s high performance pasture needs. Look for excellent establishment and seedling vigor along with cool season productivity and the aggressive season long growth necessary to maximize grazing. Pinnacle has a very upright growth habit with numerous fine stems and large dark green leaves. This variety was bred for superior persistence and can stand up to leaf disease and virus pressure. Pinnacle is adapted throughout the United States and Canada, wherever ladino clovers are grown.

• Improved winter growth
• Extended grazing potential during colder months
• Superior growth
• Early and vigorous flowering
• Disease resistant

Crusade white clover is the result of a breeding program that has taken the best traits of the traditional Haifa variety and combined them with improved winter activity qualities. Therefore, it can introduce added benefits in plant productivity and health to temperate regions where winter-active white clovers are desired.

To develop this variety, selections were made from plants displaying superior growth in winter, autumn and spring. Other traits selected in the development of Crusade were dark green leaves, early and vigorous flowering, and high seed yield. A strong emphasis was also placed on freedom from virus and disease symptoms, and strong recovery from cutting, grazing and moisture stress.

Crusade is a vigorous, winter-active variety of white clover. Leaflets are similar in appearance to Haifa, but can have a darker green appearance with fewer leaf markings. Crusade is slightly earlier in flowering than regular Haifa. Because of its winter-active characteristic, Crusade will provide grazing during the colder months in regions experiencing mild, moist winter conditions.

• High yield potential
• Excellent forage quality
• Longer stand persistence
• Superior disease resistance

FSG 402 is an elite, new generation, diploid medium red clover developed for higher yields and longer stand persistence; three or more years under proper management. FSG 402 reaches 50% bloom at approximately the same time as Arlington and Kenland, and 4 days earlier than Marathon in the spring and performs extremely well over a wide geographic area under variable growing conditions. FSG 402 is highly resistant to northern anthracnose, southern anthracnose and powdery mildew while showing an improved level of field resistance to black patch (Rhizoctonia) compared to Arlington, Marathon, Kenland and Freedom. Whether it’s for pastures, silage or hay, FSG 402 can’t be beat when it comes to yield, quality, stand persistence and disease resistance

• 440HVXRR 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.
• The HarvXtra™ technology provides unprecedented flexibility by extending cutting windows, which gives growers the option at each cutting to:
  • Maintain their normal harvest schedules for higher-quality forage, or
  • Delay harvest for 7-10 days for increased yield potential, without sacrificing forage quality compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity.
• 440HVXRR 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.
• V440HVXRR Alfalfa is stacked with Roundup Ready® Technology for unsurpassed weed control with excellent crop safety.

440HVXRR Alfalfa is the industry’s first genetically enhanced alfalfa technology developed to maximize quality compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity, by reducing the amount of lignin in the plant.
