Erectgrowth habit with the stems that are oriented in the vertical direction and leaves which tend to be distributed in an optimal way in order to receive sufficient light for photosynthesis while the taproot drops in depth. The rapid regrowth and the high radical development lead to a strong competitive ability against weeds.

YEAR OF REGISTRATION IN THE ITALIAN VARIETIES LIST: 1997

AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS:

production of high amounts of forage due to great capacity for regrowth after cutting and tillering capacity. Persistence of green leaves on the stem until the full flowering lead to a high index vigour and better forage quality.

QUALITY

Excellent seed quality guaranteed by careful selection and preparation and by numerous controls to ensure a high degree of purity and germination.

CHARACTERISTICS

High uniformity for height and devolepment rate; this facilitate the optimization of the correct time for cutting.

YEAR OF REGISTRATION IN THE ITALIAN VARIETIES LIST: 2008

AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS:

Stability that allows for production and quality results reliable and costant in time. The variety is mainteined carefully and multiplied through a traced chain of seed production. Excellent morphology, characterized by erect growth habit, high tillering capacity, well-developed root system, very high leaf number distributed along the whole culm and persistent until flowering.

QUALITY

Excellent seed quality guaranteed by careful selection and preparation and by numerous controls to ensure a high degree of purity and germination.
