Cimarron
ALFALFA SK^
Top Forage Quality
Cimarron SR produces larger leaves
than other alfalfa varieties. (See photo
right.) And it holds its leaves better in
the field and in the baling process. The
result is a leafier bay with higher
protein and TDN. Break open a bale of
Cimarron hay, and you can see the
difference.
High Yields - Long Stand Life
Cimarron SR is producing excellent
yields in the Penn State trials. And unlike other alfalfa varieties Cimarron SR was
bred on the East Coast, so it stands up well under the difficulties of Eastern con
ditions. You can count on Cimarron SR for long stand life and top productivity.
Sclerotinia Resistance
Sclerotinia crown rot is a significant problem for alfalfa growers on the East
Coast. Cimarron SR provides the protection against sclerotinia that growers need.
Weevil Tolerance
Cimarron SR's unique alfalfa weevil tolerance reduces weevil damage by
50% In a heavy infestation spraying can be cut in half In lighter infestations,
spraying can be avoided altogether.
