Salinity is a natural byproduct of irrigated and dryland agriculture in low rainfall areas. Over time, soluble salts move upward in the soil profile and can interfere with normal crop growth and performance. The development of salt tolerant alfalfa varieties has given hay producers another method to manage saline soils. Many growers have maximized their economic return per acre under tough soil conditions by planting the original Barricade SLT. BrettYoung has built on the strengths of Barricade SLT to provide the new, improved, next generation salt product – Barricade II
Barricade II is also well suited to normal soils to produce optimal yields over the life of the stand. It delivers a complete disease package, excellent winter hardiness and high yields. Protect your seed investment by planting Barricade II as a pure stand or component in a mixture.
