Fast Growth in Performance Alfalfa

Most commercial alfalfa varieties range from 1.4 to 1.6 cm of growth per day, where as an alfalfa must average at least 1.98 cm of growth per day to carry the FastGrowth rating. Most importantly, all Hi-Ton Performance Alfalfas carry the FastGrowth rating.

When alfalfa with a FastGrowth rating is green and growing it is generating extra yield. As an example, Hi-Ton alfalfa has 3 to 5 days faster growth after harvest and shortens the number of days to the next cutting. Faster growth starts with the first crop and continues with each cut taken in a growing season, in other words, more total yield is harvested at mid-summer when growing conditions are at their peak.
