Thats what SARANAC AR is all about!
The one to plant for top yields in anthracnose country.
Even in sticky, hot, humid weather when
anthracnose is sweeping neighboring fields,
Saranac AR goes right on producing.
And how it can produce! In April 1980,
Herman Espy of Spruce Creek PA, where
anthracnose flourishes, seeded five acres in
Saranac AR and Pennlate Orchardgrass. The
following year, he took four cuttings—in June,
July, August and October. His winning yield;
10.7 tons per acre. Next year, Herman plans to
seed an additional 35 acres. In Saranac AR, of
course.
if you’re out to beat anthracnose
Saranac AR stands up even to Race II
anthracnose, the new virulent strain that can
wipe out other anthracnose resistant varieties.
Race II is not prevalent today, but if it does take
off you will want Saranac AR in your fields.
Bacterial wilt resistance, fast recovery, long
lived stands and top yields are bred into
Saranac AR. Add anthracnose resistance,
and you’ve got the only one to plant where
anthracnose Race (or Race I! is a threat.
