Proven to withstand all kinds of weather

CALIBRA has proved to do what no variety has ever done before: To be very productive under a long growing season as in UK, to be very disease resistant especially against rust in France and to be very winter hardy even in Russia!

 

A very high digestibility and sugar content

The digestibility of CALIBRA is high, which is related to the high sugar content of the variety.

 

Very high and stable yields

Good spring growth combined with intermediate heading is useful for early production. The regrowth and production over summer is very high. This places CALIBRA among the top varieties.
