Overview

Multi Foli®-8 is a productive and persistent highly winter active (8) lucerne which yields well during all growing seasons. Its combination of multiple pest resistance, multifoliate expression and yield makes it an excellent variety for environments that are suitable for growing highly winter active varieties.

Multi Foli®-8 is recommended for producers targeting the premium lucerne hay market, where premiums can be received for its high leaf content and colour in the bale. It should be sown in long growing season areas, preferably with good irrigation and high fertility to ensure maximum expression of the multifoliate trait.

• High leaf to stem ratio
• Retains dark green colour
• Excellent hay quality
