WL 358LH Alfalfa
Leafhopper Resistant | Conventional Alfalfa | 50 lb. Bag
WL358LH is geared and selected for Midwest and Northeastern U.S. growers. WL358LH is the latest in the line of varieties selected for the highest potato leafhopper resistance available, now the industry’s leading eighth-generation. Combined with an improved yield and quality package, WL 358LH is an ideal pick for dairy, beef or cash hay growers looking to maximize production under various levels of leafhopper pressure.
Includes HopperShield--the patented leafhopper protection genetics offering up to 85% more resistance. Compared to convential alfalfas, WL358LH can tolerate up to 10 times the level of leafhoppers before spray treament is necessary. a true "no-spray" alfalfa.
WL358LH ADVANTAGES:
• Eighth-generation potato leafhopper resistance with HopperShield protection, a true “no-spray” PLH-resistant alfalfa
• Superb yield potential and agronomic performance under 3- to 5-cut harvest management systems, with or without leafhopper pressure
• Visually impressive variety under moderate or heavy PLH pressure
• Winterhardy (WH=2.0); WL 358LH delivers superior cold tolerance, even under harsh weather conditions
• A perfect disease resistance index (DRI) of 30/30 for solid yield potential and long stand life across a wide range of soil types and climates
• Dark green, fine-stemmed and a highly digestible HopperShield variety
• Regardless of management style or cutting schedule, WL358LH delivers peace-of-mind insurance on yield, quality and persistence-robbing PLH pests
