• WL 301HVX.RR Brand Alfalfa is an exciting new product coming out the spring of 2016.  This alfalfa gives growers the ability to better manage their hay by offering more flexibility in cutting schedule.  It has the potential to achieve improved forage quality and yield potential, when compared to conventional alfalfa at the same stage of maturity.

• WL 301HVX.RR Brand Alfalfa averages 12-15% less lignin than conventional alfalfa.  At the same time, it offers 12-15% higher neutral detergent fiber digestibility (NDFd) and relative forage quality (RFQ) than conventional alfalfa harvested at the same stage of maturity.

• WL 301HVX.RR Brand Alfalfa is stacked with Roundup Ready® Technology.  This provides unsurpassed weed control, in both new and older fields, and excellent crop safety and quality.  It gives very high yield potential and agronomic characteristics as well. Under a 3-cut system it enables extending cutting frequency and maintaining forage quality.  Under a 4- to 5-cut system it makes it possible to maximize fiber digestibility levels.

•WL 301HVX.RR has a  perfect Disease Resistance Index (30/30) and a very good winterhardiness rating (2.0).  It delivers long stand life under difficult growing conditions.  This alfalfa is well adapted for the Midwest, Northeast and Eastern Plains of the U.S. (approved planted areas for 2016).  It is ideally suited for on-farm dairy, beef or cash hay producers.  It also has fast recovery in frequent harvest schedules under intense management.
