3 STEALTH SF Alfalfa With StandFast TM Traits Add up to 6 Extra Growth in First 21 Days and Reduce Field Loss Stealth SF Alfalfa Traditional Alfalfas STEALTH SF Alfalfa, first with: Measured Faster Recovery - Alfalfas with StandFast Traits recover up to 30% faster than current fast recovery alfalfas. This results in a crop ready for harvest up to 5 days earlier and compounds to maximize total season yield. Improved Standability - Traditional alfalfas usually stand well to pre-bud or early bud stage. Alfalfas with StandFast traits can push standability out to late flower, reducing field loss and increasing harvested forage, when harvest is delayed. Quality Seeds West Quality and Persistence Equal to or Exceeding Competitive Alfalfas - Stem size and cell wall digestibility are similar to today s top selling alfalfas. In side-by-side trials, alfalfas with StandFast Traits produce equal or better pounds of milk per ton of fed forage. Stands stay full and productive under aggressive, balanced management and will not turn to weeds like lesser alfalfas.
