The members of the National Alfalfa Variety Review Board are of the opinion that the following varieties are distinctive and that seed of these varieties can be certified providing it meets the standards of the certifying agency of the state in which seed is grown. All variety information, including the descriptions, claims and research data to support the claims was supplied to the Board by the applicants. The Board makes judgments regarding the distinctiveness of the variety and its eligibility for certification based on the data supplied. Beyond this, the Board takes no position on the accuracy of truthfulness of any description or claim made by the applicants.
