Hybrid Alfalfa Technology
Feature		Benefit
Increased Spring Vigor		Allows earlier cutting for increased quality with less risk of stress and stand loss.
Faster Regrowth		Photosynthesis starts sooner, which results in more vigorous plants, due to better use of water and nutrient uptake.
More Resilient Plants		Provide greater forage yield advantage in years 3-4.
Fine Stems		Excellent potential for high-quality forage. Herbage tends to dry faster than large-stemmed varieties.
Hybrid Yield		Increase in forage yield capabilities. 7% better in state trials. msSUNSTRA® hybrids are yielding 19% better in farmer strip plots.
Drought Performance		Quick ground cover to reduce moisture loss. Deep rooted to capture moisture.
Shade Tolerant		Competes well with nurse crops.
Traffic Tolerant		Tolerates wheel traffic on wet soils.
