Late - Maturity Class 3 - Primary End Use: Forage and Grain
BENICIA is a late maturing, tall, large stature, flint grained and very high yielding hybrid specifically marketed in the UK and Ireland for cultivation only under film using The Samco System. The popularity of BENICIA for growing under film has developed following a run of several years where growers have achieved significantly higher yields of forage and grain than those normally achievable in the open.
