FSG 423ST ALFALFA

  • Higher forage production under saline soil conditions
  • Fine stemmed with superior forage quality
  • Excellent persistence and winterhardiness
  • Resistance to stem and northern root knot nematodes
  • Widely adapted

FSG 423ST alfalfa was selected for persistence and high forage yield from parent plants growing in the saline soils of the northern Great Plains. Due to it’s tolerance to saline soils, branching/tap root system and great disease resistance package, FSG 423ST produces high quality, fine stemmed hay and tolerates variable soil types. FSG 423ST is adapted to the Great Plains, North Central Region and the winterhardy Intermountain Region of the United States. Not just for saline soil conditions, FSG 423ST alfalfa is an excellent choice for any area where a high yielding, superior forage quality alfalfa variety is desired.

Characteristics

  • Fall Dormancy………………………….4.0
  • Winter Survival………………………….2.0 (Very Good)
  • Saline Soils………………………….Tolerant
  • Root Type………………………….Tap and Branch
  • Recovery After Cutting………………………….Fast

FSG 415BR ALFALFA

  • Aphanomyces Race 2 resistance
  • Branch root type
  • Adapted to variable soil conditions
  • Stands up to wheel traffic pressure
  • High yield and quality potential
  • Excellent winterhardiness and persistence

FSG 415BR alfalfa with Aphanomyces Race 2 resistance excels on both poor and well drained soils, plus resists heaving and mechanical injury due to its branch root structure. A superior disease and insect resistance package, including high resistance to the major alfalfa nematode species, ensures wide adaptability from the Northeast to the Intermountain West. With high yield and forage quality potential, especially under less than ideal soil conditions, FSG 415BR gives you the flexibility to optimize your management decisions.

Characteristics

  • Fall Dormancy………………………….4.0
  • Winter Survival………………………….2.0 (Very Good)
  • Root Type………………………….Branch
  • Recovery After Cutting………………………….Very Fast

FSG 408DP ALFALFA

  • Dual purpose alfalfa – hay or graze
  • Wide, deep-set crowns
  • Stands up to wheel traffic pressure
  • High yield potential
  • Superior winterhardiness and persistence

FSG 408DP Alfalfa has been bred for deep set crowns with 61% of the crowns 1 inch to 1 1/2 inches below the soil surface. The deep set crown trait helps insulate the crown in severe winter weather and protect the crown from animal and equipment traffic. This versatile variety is ideal for three to four cut management systems where wheel traffic is a concern or for intensive livestock grazing year after year. With high hay yields, great forage quality and an excellent disease and insect resistance package, FSG 408DP gives you the flexibility to optimize your management decisions.

Characteristics

  • Fall Dormancy………………………4.0
  • Winter Survival…………………….2.0 (Very Good)
  • Root Type………………………….Tap
  • Recovery After Cutting………………Very Fast

FSG 329 ALFALFA

  • Highly persistent multifoliate variety
  • Excellent forage yield potential and quality
  • High resistance to stem and northern root-knot nematodes
  • Perfect 30/30 DRI rating
  • Widely adapted

FSG 329 alfalfa was selected for yield, persistence, nematode resistance and disease resistance so that it will produce even under adverse environmental pressures. FSG 329 is adapted throughout the Western, North Central and Eastern United States. Forage quality is enhanced due to FSG 329’s high multifoliate expression and is a great choice for commercial hay, beef and dairy producers.

Characteristics

  • Fall Dormancy………………………….3.0
  • Winter Survival………………………….2.0 (Very Good)
  • Root Type………………………….Tap
  • Recovery After Cutting………………………….Fast

FSG 229CR ALFALFA

  • Highly persistent Creeping Rooted alfalfa
  • Excellent drought and wet soil tolerance
  • Multi purpose – great for haying or pasturing
  • Tough and widely adapted alfalfa

FSG 229CR alfalfa is a highly persistent creeping alfalfa specialized for utilization in both pastures and hay production under dryland and irrigated conditions. As the alfalfa stand matures, new crowns develop from buds on the roots which increase stand density. FSG 229CR also expresses a branch rooted trait that increases survivability in wet soil conditions.

Characteristics

  • Fall Dormancy………………………….2.0
  • Winter Survival………………………….2.0 (Very Good)
  • Root Type………………………….Branch
  • Recovery After Cutting………………………….Fast
