- Fodder, hexaploid variety with semi-erect to intermediate plant and medium height at heading phase.
- Large proportion of generative shoots – high seed yield.
- High yield of green and dry matter.
- High yields of dry matter and forage energy are obtained in the 1st and 3rd swath.
- Low ability to head in individual suckers.
- Recommended for mixtures for permanent grassland and for field cultivation.
