The plants grow exceptionally tall, exceeding 260 cm in height, with green stems and elongated internodes that support vigorous growth and heavy biomass accumulation. Its thin and succulent stems along with narrow dark green leaves ensure high palatability and excellent fodder quality for livestock.
FLIXO-117 is known for its profuse tillering ability, producing more than 11 tillers per plant, which significantly increases fodder production. The crop reaches 50% flowering within 45 to 55 days and allows the first cutting just 42 days after sowing, ensuring an early and continuous fodder supply.
This variety supports more than four cuttings, making it an ideal multi-cut fodder solution for dairy farms and commercial fodder cultivation. The low HCN content below 450 ppm makes it safe and suitable for animal feeding.
FLIXO-117 also performs exceptionally well under different climatic conditions due to its photo-insensitive nature, excellent rejuvenation capacity, and tolerance to foliar diseases, moisture stress, and sucking pests. Its ability to regenerate quickly after cutting ensures sustained productivity throughout the growing season. 🌱🌾
