Amba/Dactylis glomerata Cocksfoot
Combining Early Growth with Yield and Quality | | Lateness | Tolerance to grazing | Mixture adaptation | Yield |  |  |  |  |  |
High yields of drymatter High digestibility compared to other early varieties Very winterhardy Early production |  |
High Yields Right from the Start
AMBA establishes well and has a strong growth right from the start.
High Digestibility
AMBA has proved to have a digestibility on the level of the more late varieties. This is unique for an early variety.
Very Good Winterhardiness
AMBA has proven a very high winterhardiness. Also the tolerance to late night frost in the spring is very good.
Early Production
AMBA is tall growing and fits well in mixtures with early tall growing grasses as well as red clover. When the first cut is taken at the right time before heading, no stems will be produced in the aftermath.
