This tall plant variety, reaching heights of 260-270 cm, is characterized by its green stems with elongated internodes and narrow, dark green leaves. The stems are thin and succulent, contributing to its profuse tillering ability, with each plant producing more than seven tillers. It flowers in 52-56 days, with the first cutting possible just 46 days after sowing. This variety supports multiple cuts, typically 5-6, ensuring a continuous supply of fodder. The HCN content is low, less than 400 ppm, making it safe for livestock. It is photo-insensitive, allowing it to thrive under various light conditions. The plant’s excellent fodder quality is complemented by its tolerance to foliar diseases and its good rejuvenation capacity, which ensures sustained productivity.
