Our newest winterhardy HQ (high quality-selected) alfalfa, WL 363HQ carries on in the great tradition set by WL 357HQ: Very high yield potential, outstanding winterhardiness, and unmatched forage quality.

• Very high yielding under 4-, 5-, and 6-cut harvest managements (FD=4.9); the highest-yielding winterhardy HQ released to date.
• Very winterhardy (WH=1.6); WL 363 HQ delivers long stand-life, even under the toughest weather conditions.
• Proven ability to "hold" high feed value in the field over a longer period of time; WL 363 HQ delivers higher forage quality and greater harvest flexibility with less risk of rain damage to hay and haylage when harvest is delayed.
• Fast recovery after cutting and superior standability encourages intensive harvest management.
• Excellent early maturing companion variety to WL 319HQ and WL 343HQ.

• Superior digestibility produces more milk or beef and greater profitability when fed; WL 363HQ consistently beats the competition in head-to-head digestibility comparisons.
• A great choice for cash hay, WL 363HQ delivers very high RFQ and TDN numbers across a wide range of haying conditions.
• A "perfect" disease resistance index (DRI) of 30/30 and high resistance (HR) to both stem and root knot nematodes produces big yields and long stand life across a wide range of soil types and growing conditions.
• Dark gree, fine-stemmed, and highly palatable.
• Well-adapated for hay and haylage use in Midwestern, Northeastern, Northwestern, and Central Plains regions of the U.S.

WL357HQ is a winterhardy alfalfa which carries on in the great tradition set by WL 325 HQ. Very high yield potential across a wide range of soil types, outstanding winterhardiness characteristics, and unmatched forage quality and feed value potential set WL 357 HQ apart from the competition.
