Launch of the New NEXGROW Alfalfa
June 22, 2012| |
NEXGROW™ alfalfa, the new brand name for the Syngenta and NK® brand of alfalfas has been launched recently. NEXGROW™ alfalfa provides producers the same high yield and forage quality as the former Syngenta and NK® alfalfas.
Grant Ozipko, Syngenta crop portfolio head said. "Grower favorites like 6422Q, the top winner at World Dairy Expo's 2011 World Forage Analysis Superbowl, will be available along with varieties that are glyphosate tolerant or highly resistant to potato leafhopper."
This brand will also offer next generation glyphosate tolerant varieties, such as Revolt; and superior late fall dormant varieties with exceptional winter hardiness.
