Maxi-Ton Pro Brand Alfalfa

This alfalfa was developed from many years of selections from plants with extremely high yield and disease resistance. It was selected for high forage digestibility, disease resistance, high yield capabilities and standability.

Maxi-Ton Pro has a very dark green color and wide adaptability to soil types. It is highly resistant to both Aphanomyces root rot (1), and Phytophthora root rot and therefore does extremely well in wetter soils. Because it has a fall dormancy rating of 4.0 and a winterhardiness rating of 2.0 it will survive severe winters in northern areas and still produce well in the southern areas of the Upper Midwest. In a disease rating system where the best score is a 30 Maxi-Ton Pro would score 29 out of 30.

This variety will perform with the best varieties in the market place. For the progressive alfalfa grower who is looking for maximum returns in forage yield and quality Maxi-Ton Pro should be in your rotation.
