Profile
This is a synthetic variety that has been selected from multiple high performing parent plants in Wisconsin. Robust’s special breeding allows for the winterhardiness of a fall dormancy 2, while maintaining the growth, yield and feed values typical of higher dormancy alfalfas. This makes Robust the ideal performer in Western Canada.
