Product catalog summary
Overview: The document provides detailed information on the WL 454HQ.RR alfalfa variety, highlighting its advantages, agronomic traits, pest resistance, and benefits of using the Roundup Ready® weed control system.
Specifications: WL 454HQ.RR is an intermediate dormant alfalfa variety with a fall dormancy rating of 6.7. It offers outstanding yield potential under 5-, 6-, and 7-cut harvest managements and is highly resistant to major aphid and nematode pests.
Advantages: The variety promotes optimized feed intake, milk production, and greater profit potential. It is ideal for cash hay producers due to its high yield of leafy, fine-stemmed hay with dark green color and high feed value. It also has a strong disease resistance package, including high resistance to Phytophthora Root Rot and Fusarium Wilt.
Agronomic Traits: The WL 454HQ.RR variety has moderate winter activity, superior digestibility/feed value, very high persistence index, and excellent standability. It also has very good traffic tolerance and very fast recovery after harvest.
Pest Resistance: The variety shows high resistance (HR) to several pests, including Bacterial Wilt, Fusarium Wilt, Verticillium Wilt, Anthracnose, Phytophthora Root Rot, Stem Nematode, Pea Aphid, Spotted Alfalfa Aphid, and Blue Alfalfa Aphid.
Yield and Quality: WL 454HQ.RR outperforms other varieties in yield and quality, with a crude protein (CP) content of 23.5 and a relative forage quality (RFQ) of 185.
Roundup Ready® System Benefits: The use of the Roundup Ready® weed control system provides unmatched weed control, superior crop safety, flexibility in herbicide application timing, and minimal wait time before haying/feeding. This system enhances the quality and profitability of the hay produced.
Regulatory and Usage Information: The document includes important regulatory information regarding the use of HarvXtra® Alfalfa with Roundup Ready® Technology, emphasizing compliance with seed and feed use agreements and export restrictions.
