Resolute alfalfa is a fall dormancy 3, persistent, competitive forage yielding alfalfa variety from the Legacy breeding program. Its parental lines were selected for plant vigor, persistence, and deep-set crowns in eight-year-old alfalfa stands in Idaho. Resolute has a fine stem, dark green herbage color delivering exceptional forage quality. The genetic background of the selected germplasm will deliver saline tolerance.
