ALFALFA
PV Ultima VR Total
Top yielding, high quality Flexibility and performance
Ideal under high moisture or irrigation. PV Ultima has a
combination of high yield and winter hardiness. PV Ultima
is an industry leading alfalfa due to a high fall dormancy
rating and strong winter survival combined with high yield
multiple cuts. VR Total is a dormant alfalfa variety that reaches the late
bud stage three to five days later than the early maturing
alfalfa varieties. The maturity difference between VR Total
and the early alfalfas continues to widen with VR Total
reaching full-flower a week to ten days later. This slower
paced growth is a combination of fall dormancy and
germplasm that has been selected to mature slowly, and
results in an extra week to ten days of harvest opportunity.
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 has been characterized
for resistance to several important alfalfa diseases and
insect pests.
HIGHLY RESISTANT
Bacterial Wilt
Fusarium Wilt
Verticillium Wilt
Anthracnose
Phytophthora Root Rot
Aphanomyces Root Rot
RESISTANT
Pea Aphids
Cutting schedule flexibility
In management studies, VR Total has consistently shown
the ability to handle aggressive bud or full maturity harvest
systems. In the results of two cutting management studies,
VR Total was side-by-side with six check alfalfa varieties
and VR Total performed competitively. Wheel traffic
was applied after each harvest to each variety to further
stress the entries.
VR Total is featured in our Dualmaster Master Blend.
