A wheat/rye hybrid cereal providing good cover and feed in marginal low fertility areas where it will thrive with little input.
Useful in situations where maize and millet are not options and where brassica sickness is a problem.
Further important advantages are its ability to withstand rabbit attack, winter hardiness and good disease resistance.
When sowing in the spring, a true spring type must be used which does not require a period of vernalisation, otherwise the plant will not produce grain.
