Superior crop safety with the Roundup Ready® system provides increased yield potential. An outstanding yielder under 4,5, and 6-cut systems, this very winterhardy (WH=1.9) alfalfa has a fall dormancy of 4.7. It produces big tons of fine-stemmed, high quality hay or haylage with superior digestibility.

With unmatched weed control at both stand establishment and between cuttings, this Genuity® Roundup Ready® alfalfa is widely adapted for all soil types and is an excellent fit for 3-5 cut systems. It is a very high yielding, persistent variety with excellent quality.

• Excellent tolerance to Roundup® non-selective herbicide.
• Very high-yielding under 3-,4-, and 5-cut harvest managements; outstanding productivity across a wide range of soil types.
• Superior digestibility produces more milk or beef and greater profitability when fed.
• Very winterhardy (WH=1.8); WL355.RR delivers long stand life even under the toughest weather conditions.
• Very fast recovery after cutting and superior standability encourages intensive harvest management; WL 355.RR produces higher yields and higher-quality forage more often with less risk.

• Dark green, fine-stemmed, and highly palatable.
• Unmatched weed control at both stand establishment and in established stands means fewer weeds and higher quality hay and haylage, resulting in more milk and beef per acre.
• Superior crop safety with the Roundup Ready® system provides increased yield potential in both the establishment and subsequent years.
• Flexibility in timing of application allows growers utilizing the Roundup Ready® system in alfalfa the ability to spray when necessary; no crop rotation restrictions.

Our best irrigated alfalfa, WL 363HQ has very high yield potential, outstanding winterhardiness, and unmatched forage quality.
