Waverly, IA

“First full year after seed year we took 4 cuttings with a total 6.75 tons/acre yield...We would have cut a 5th time, but we were concerned about regrowth impacting winter survival. Needless to say, we are very happy with this variety!”

SEED TREATMENTS

All of our alfalfas may be coated with one of these OMRI-listed inoculants or coatings:

APEXTM GREEN

ApexTM Green encapsulates each seed in a mix of micro-nutrients, including iron, zinc and manganese; and bacteria. The hydrating polymer holds water around seed, improving germination and seedling survival, especially under adverse conditions.

GRAPH-EX SATM

Graph-Ex SATM contains a specially-formulated blend of Alfalfa/Clover Inoculant plus SabrExTM Root Inoculant, resulting in better plant stand, bigger root mass, and higher yield.

PRE-VAILTM

Clay-based pre-inoculant improves early seedling vigor through increased root development and excellent nodulation for higher yields. Contains high levels of rhizobia for nitrogen fixation – 100 million viable cells per gram – and Azospirillum bacteria to promote plant growth.

NITRO-COATTM

Contains a multi-strain, crop-specific rhizobium blend to provide maximum nodulation, stand establishment and yield potential. Helps attract soil moisture to the seed, ensuring quick stand establishment.
