Farmers who grow alfalfa now have a new way of controlling weeds and increasing yield: a breakthrough technology that delivers unsurpassed weed control and crop safety, while providing growers with an easy, flexible way to raise more higher-quality alfalfa.
Roundup Ready Alfalfa was developed by Monsanto in cooperation with Forage Genetics, Inc. Research shows that using Roundup agricultural herbicides with Roundup Ready Alfalfa allows improved management practices that lead to better-quality hay. Benefits to growers and dairy operators include:
• Fewer Weeds. In trials against competitive herbicide systems, Roundup Ready Alfalfa had more consistent, high-quality hay.
• Better Feed. The system can help eliminate potentially toxic and low-quality weeds, producing a better feed product.
• Superior Crop Safety. Built-in tolerance means less potential crop injury when sprayed with Roundup agricultural herbicides compared with other herbicide systems.
• Trusted Brands. Use of an environmentally responsible weed-control system and an herbicide with a 30-year history of safe use.
