The forage yield is increased considerably compared to SIRIVER and CUF101. Without irrigation/dry conditions, SIRIVER MKII shows higher forage yields.
Productive for several years
High seedling vigour for fast establisment. And increased persistency compared to SIRIVER.
Sown at 20-25 kg/ha, SIRIVER MKII will produce through 3-5 years after sowing.
