Late variety with a unique combination of yield and rust resistance.

As a late variety Aldebaran has a very high total dry matter yield. Taking a close look this high yield is founded from an extreme high summer yield of relative 108. This summer yield is expected and needed if Cocksfoot is used to bypass the summer dormancy of other species to provide a nice forage summer performance.

All this nice and high yield is not worth anything if on the other side the variety is susceptible to rust. Rust appearing in the summer will make the yield worthless for the animal.
With Aldebaran this problem is solved due to a high resistance against rust.
