ALFALFA | MEDICAGO SATIVA
• Fast regrowth
• Early start-up after winter
• High content of digestible protein
• Very good winter hardiness
The LA ROCA variety is a Mediterranean type of alfalfa, but at the same time it demonstrates extremely good winter hardiness. For this reason, the variety is adapted to a very wide growing area. LA ROCCA has a very high yield potential. It produces high quality feed with a high ratio between leaves and stems in favor of the leaf mass. Recommended for hay and haylage.
LA ROCA is suitable for intensive mowing.
Due to its particularly well-developed root system, which can reach over 4 meters in depth, LA ROCCA has very good drought tolerance and can draw moisture and nutrients from deep soil layers. It has an excellent effect on the soil structure and improves the nutrient balance. Like any alfalfa, LA ROCCA grows best on well-supplied with calcium soils.
