Forage Genetics International (FGI) is at the forefront of advancing the forage industry through innovative technologies, particularly in alfalfa cultivation. One of their key offerings is the HarvXtra® Alfalfa with Roundup Ready® Technology, which is the first genetically engineered alfalfa trait designed to enhance quality by reducing lignin content. This trait not only maximizes the nutritional value of the crop but also provides superior weed control, ensuring exceptional crop safety and enabling farmers to produce higher-quality alfalfa. Additionally, FGI has developed the UltraCut™ Alfalfa Disease Package, which offers robust protection against significant diseases such as Anthracnose and Aphanomyces. This disease package is crucial for maintaining healthy alfalfa crops, improving agronomic performance, and increasing yield potential, particularly in conditions prone to these diseases.

FGI's commitment to research and development is evident in their extensive breeding programs and partnerships with universities and research institutions. Their innovative approaches include marker-assisted breeding, which accelerates the identification of plants with desirable traits, and genome sequencing to maintain the integrity of alfalfa germplasm. FGI also focuses on developing varieties that exhibit resistance to various biotic stresses, such as insect pests and diseases, as well as abiotic stresses like salt tolerance. By leveraging advanced breeding techniques and collaborating with industry partners, FGI aims to enhance grower productivity and deliver unique solutions that meet the evolving needs of the forage industry.
