SANDY

Winter active type

Sandy has been selected for its adaptation to the Mediterranean climate.

Fonctionnal benefits

  • High yielding potential
  • Good resistance to most of the diseases and pests.

Benefits in detail

SANDY has been selected for its adaptation to the Mediterranean climate:

  • With its very low dormancy (index 9), SANDY produces fodders all year long.                    
  • Therefore SANDY is well adapted for a frequent cutting management in Mediterranean climate.  

SANDY is a variety with a high-yielding potential:            

  • During our trials, SANDY distinguishes itself through its very high yielding (71 t D.M/ha (29 t D.M/ac) on 3 years).                    
  • This performance can especially be explained by SANDY’s excellent vigour of the regrowth.  

SANDY also shows a good resistance to most of the diseases and pests:                    

  • SANDY is resistant to various aphids that may attack the alfalfa.
