• The seed yield from the second cutting can reach 800-1200-1500 kg/ha
• 1000 seed weight – 20.0-22.0 g
• Dry matter yield potential – 14 t/ha
• Typical silage analysis results: DM – 14 %, crude protein – 18 %, digestibility (D-value) – 62, energy value (ME) – 9.5 MJ
• Grows well in calcareous, not necessarily fertile soils, as well as in sandy or gravelly areas
• It also grows in clay soils, but does not tolerate waterlogging
• Good drought tolerance
