ALFALFAS
They are adapted to all production climates and soils. They can obtain maximun yields. They have a high nutritional value and an excellent behaviour to pests.
NEW GENETIC ALFALFAS
GALIA (Dormanci 9)
This is a non dormant, active winter variety, which has plants with an erect bearing, intermediate crowns, abundant leafiness and violet flowers. This synthetic variety derives from the crossing selected plants because of their resistance to eyespot sheet, Phytophthora root rot, Fusarium , Rhizoctonia and scalding.
It is recommended for feeding dairy herds in dry conditions, adaptable to all areas, especially where there are problems of groundwater or frequent eye leaf spot epidemics.
SUPREMA (Dormanci 9)
This is a non dormant active winter variety. It was obtained from selected plants collected from different regions of our country. This selection was due to the high forage production, to the crown and root health, aphid resistance, and to its force.
It is adapted to north, centre and southern areas of the argentine republic.
Due to its maximum speed of regrowth, excellent forage quality and high resistance to aphids and diseases, this alfalfa is highly recommended for dairy milks and winter production.

In order to optimize our alfalfas yields we recommend:
-
To make a good weed control before seeding.
-
To graze only when flowering is at 10%.
-
In lots already implanted, if the alfalfa is grazed too late (50% bloom), this significantly reduces the quality and quantity of forage.
-
In autumn, it is necessary to let the plant rests so the roots accumulate reserves for winter.
-
Make necessary pests controls, affecting markedly the growth of plants.
-
Grazing time should not exceed five days.
-
In winter grazing only when the basal stem outbreaks have more than 4 cm. Not before
