Exceptional yield potential of high quality forage

Crop management

Group 5
Nefeli was bred out of selected populations from USA and
Australian germplasm focusing on earliness, high quality
and yield characteristics.
Seedling vigor is excellent while plant’s development is
strong.
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.
Nefeli is being recognized for its fine stems, with great
leafiness of high nutrition value and protein content. It is
resistant to lodging, with good performance at low
temperatures and outstanding performance at dry
conditions.
