Forages/Alfalfa

  Elite genetics plus very high PLH resistance in AmeriStand 404LH combines to deliver top yields of high quality alfalfa and protect valuable crude protein yields on every acre.

Researchers confirm that wheel traffic from harvesting equipment causes damage to alfalfa plants by opening wounds in the crown, which leads to the invasion of diseases, weakens the plant’s ability to survive winter stress, and can reduce yields by as much as 70 percent. University comparisons show that Traffic Tested® varieties produce an average 7.7 percent more yield under wheel traffic than conventional varieties.

AmeriStand 404LH

• No. 1 yield in 2005 Iowa State no-spray yield trials - 8.23 tons per acre
• Very winterhardy (WH = 1.7) for long stand life
• Superior disease resistance index (DRI) of 30/30
• Patented genetics deliver high resistance (HR) to fight off the PLH
• If you plant a nurse crop (oats) and harvest as grain, this should be your first choice

AmeriStand 403T

• Proven high yielding variety bred to withstand heavy traffic
• Very winterhardy (WH - 2.0) for long stand life, even in 4-cut schedules
• Superior disease resistance index (DRI) of 34/35; resists Race 2 Aphanomyces
• Delivers excellent fiber digestibility values in RFQ testing
