| Feature |
Benefit |
| Increase Spring Vigor |
Allows for earlier cutting for increased quality with less risk of stress and stand loss. |
| Faster Regrowth with more Rigorous Plants |
Photosynthesis starts sooner, which increases yield due to better use of water and nutrient uptake. |
| More Resilient Plants |
Provide greater forage yield production in years 3-4. |
| Fine Stems |
Excellent potential for high quality forage. Herbage tends to dry faster than large stemmed varieties. |
| Hybrid Yield |
Increase in forage yield capabilities. Greater than eight percent in state trials. |
| Drought Tolerance |
Quick ground cover to reduce moisture loss. Deep rooted to capture moisture. |
| Shade Tolerance |
Competes well with nurse crops. |
| Traffic Tolerant |
Tolerates wheel traffic when soil conditions are wet. |

| Forage Bank 380SC Deep Crowned Alfalfa |
Forage Bank 380SC alfalfa is a deep crowned, high forage yielding variety. It carries the sunken crown trait, which helps insulate the crown in severe winter weather. The sunken crown also helps protect the crown from equipment wheel traffic and animal hoof damage. Forage Bank 380SC expresses quick regrowth after cutting with an upright growth habit. Forage Bank 380SC has exceptional forage quality capabilities along with an excellent disease, insect and nematode resistance package.

| Forage Bank 450BR Branch Rooted Alfalfa |
Forage Bank 450BR alfalfa is a branched rooted, high forage yielding, winter hardy variety designed for the poorly drained soils. Forage Bank 450BR root system has been genetically designed with a greater degree of the branched root trait. This trait helps keep more of the root system above the water table and better secures the plant in the ground when freezing and thawing occurs. The branch-rooted trait is indeterminate which means it will adjust as moisture stresses intensify. Forage Bank 450BR is a good companion alfalfa to Forage Bank 410FY, a highly productive tap rooted variety.
