NEXGROW ALFALFA SEED | Johnson Seed Company

ULTRACUT™ ALFALFA DISEASE PACKAGE OFFERS PROTECTION AND YIELD POTENTIAL

The best way to protect against evolving Anthracnose and Aphanomyces (A/A) threats in your alfalfa stands is to plant a variety with more advanced resistance. The UltraCut™ alfalfa disease package helps you grow a healthy alfalfa crop even in field conditions susceptible to A/A disease strains. Its protection can help deliver an advantage through improved agronomic performance and yield potential.

Crown, stem and root diseases can cause significant impact on alfalfa yield, quality and persistence. The UltraCut alfalfa disease package enables strong stand establishment through unmatched seedling genetic disease resistance. Without disease-resistant seed, if your plants are subjected to these diseases, the damage can be yield limiting and sometimes fatal. You may have to terminate your stand and start over in soil that’s possibly still contaminated with the disease strains.

See healthier stands and more yield in your fields* by planting varieties with the UltraCut alfalfa disease package.

*UltraCut alfalfa disease package is available in 6439HVXR, 6423R and 6453Q.
