Halo 2
Excellent salinity tolerance and high forage yield potential
Halo 2 is the newest generation variety selected for improved germination and forage production under salinity stress . Dual purpose for high performance in non-saline fields as well as improved performance on marginal saline ground . Halo 2 has excellent forage yield potential and strong winter-hardiness . This variety is adapted to all areas where salinity limits the production of high quality hay .
High soil salinity can adversely affect crop productivity and in some cases , make portions of fields unprofitable and / or unfarmable . Managing soil salinity has become increasingly achievable for alfalfa hay producers in western Canada with the development of salt tolerant varieties like Halo 2 .
Spredor 5
Fifth generation creeping rooted alfalfa with extremely high winter survival

Pest resistance
Resistance to pests is an important selection feature in alfalfa varieties . Pests reduce the yield , persistence and quality of a forage stand . PV Ultima is characterized by resistance to several important alfalfa diseases and insect pests .
VR Total
Flexibility and performance
VR Total is an alfalfa variety that reaches the late bud stage three to five days later than early maturing alfalfa varieties , and full-flower a week to ten days later . This is a combination of fall dormancy and germplasm that has been selected to mature slowly , and results in an extended window of harvest opportunity .
Cutting schedule flexibility
In management studies , VR Total has consistently shown the ability to perform in bud or full maturity harvest systems . In alfalfa cutting management studies VR Total has been shown to perform comparatively or better than the well known industry checks . Wheel traffic was applied after each harvest to each variety to further stress the entries .
VR Total is featured in our Dualmaster and Haymaster Beef Master Blends .
• Early fall dormancy , very hardy winter survival rating .
• Early seedling establishment , fast recovery after cutting and long stand persistence .
• Drought and salt-tolerant at germination .
• Excellent leaf retention and fine stems for high quality .
Spredor 5 is featured in our Haymaster Ultimate , Beefmaster , Ranchmaster II , Legumaster , Seasonmaster , Grazemaster and Equimaster II Master Blends .
