Alfamaster 10® has been bred for excellent production and persistence under irrigation rotations achieving an average of 17% over and above CUF101 in USA trials.
Alfamaster 10® demonstrates excellent seedling vigour and fast establishment compared to other highly winter active types and will form a very leafy and densely branched growth habit with large erect crowns. These features will allow it to deliver superior productivity and performance compared to many other highly winter active hay varieties, particularly when very productive stands need to be maintained for 2 to 3 years under irrigated situations.
