grainsilagehelminthosporiosis resistant

MOVANNA is DSV UK’s most consistent forage and AD variety. This vigorous, mid-harvest performer has a very robust agronomic package with excellent standing power and resistance to fusarium and eyespot, all of which means a healthy plant, even if harvest is delayed. MOVANNA is listed as suitable for Very Favourable sites from the NIAB / BSPB data and is ideal for forage and AD. It is a tall, dark green variety, which has increased its popularity with biogas growers. With proven performance on-farm and in independent BSPB/NIAB trials, MOVANNA is a later intermediate type, which is ideal for spreading the harvest and/or drilling window. It is a stiff plant with a low percentage score for lodging (1.9%). This variety’s excellent vigour (7.1) supports rapid growth at the start of the season that culminates in high dry matter yields at harvest (19.5t/ha). - High starch yields - Good cold tolerance - Very good practical experience in organic farming Dry matter content at harvest (%):32.8 Dry matter yield (t/ha):19.5 Dry matter yield (% of 4 and 5 year varieties):99 ME of fresh plant at harvest (MJ/kg dry matter):11.45 ME yield of fresh plant at harvest (1000s MJ/ha):224 Starch content of whole plant at harvest (%):33.5 Starch yield of whole plant at harvest (t/ha):6.53 Cell wall digestibility (%):57
