Exceptional yield potential of high-quality forage

Crop management

Group 6/7
Icon was bred for many years, out of selected populations
from USA and Australia and selected for high quality and
yield characteristics
Plants are medium, semi-erect with relatively open crowns
with semi-erect stems. The open crowns produce an
increased number of stems per crown, while they provide
tolerance to disease infestation. At the same time the
increased number of stems and the high leaf to stem ratio
provide for a high yield of high-quality forage
Seedling vigor is excellent, and the development of plants
is strong
Icon is characteristic for its fine stems with great leafiness
of high nutrition value and protein content. Also, resistant
to lodging, with good performance at low temperatures
and outstanding performance at dry conditions
