PRODUCT TECH SHEETS

The payoff from WL's research and development efforts is the continual introduction of new and improved alfalfa varieties bred for specific grower benefits and adapted across a wide range of growing areas.

  • Group 1.3 winterhardiness and Group 2.8 fall dormancy; WL 319HQ delivers fast recovery after cutting, long stand life and superior cold tolerance
  • Very high-yielding under both 3- and 4-cut harvest managements
  • A "Perfect" Disease Resistance Index of 30/30
  • Excellent medium-maturity companion to WL 327 and WL 342
  • Unmatched feed value produces more milk and greater profits per acre
  • Proven ability to retain forage quality at flowering for greater harvest flexibility
  • Dark green, fine-stemmed, and high digestible
  • Very high multileaf expression of 85%

  • "Fifth-Generaton" potato leafhopper resistance is best in the industry
  • Superior performance in regions with leafhopper pressure
  • High yield and long stand life meets or beats the best conventional varieties on the market
  • Early maturity Group 4 (FD=4.1); well-adapted to three-, four-, and five-cut harvest programs
  • A perfect disease resistance index of 30/30 and strong resistance to insects provides for big yields and long stand life
  • Exceptional forage yield plus superior feed value delivers outstanding milk and beef production
  • Fast recovery after cutting 
  • Dark green, fine-stemmed and highly digestible

 

  • Superior digestibility produces more milk or beef and greater profitability (FD = 4.7)
  • Perfect Disease Resistance Index of 30/30 with strong resistance to insects and nematodes
  • Very high yielding under 4- and 5-cut harvest managements
  • Very winterhardy (WH=1.6); delivers long stand life under the toughest weather conditions
  • Proven ability to "hold" high feed value in the field over a longer period of time
  • Dark green, fine-stemmed, and highly palatable

 

  • Winter-active, non-dormant 7.8
  • Very high yielding across a wide range of cutting managements and diverse soil types
  • Consistently produces leafy, fine-stemmed, palatable hay with high % TDN, high % crude protein, and greater milk production
  • Excellent tolerance to leaf diseases provides improved leaf retention and higher protein levels
  • Highly resistant to all major aphid pests that attack non-dormant alfalfa
  • Proven ability to retain forage quality at late bud for greater harvest flexibility

  • Winter-active, Fall Dormancy of 9.2
  • Superior crude protein, % TDN and digestibility when compared to the nondormant competition
  • Outstanding persistence under intensive harvest schedule
  • Highly resistant to all major aphid, disease and nematode problems
  • Very high yielding across a wide range of soil types
  • Great visual appeal: dark green, leafy and fine-stemmed
