» Primary End Use: Forage and Grain<br />

BENICIA is a late maturing, tall, very large stature and very high yielding hybrid specifically marketed in the UK and<br />

Ireland for cultivation only under film using the Samco System. The popularity of BENICIA for growing under film to<br />

produce high yields of quality forage and grain continues.<br />

Hybrid Characteristics<br />

• Single cross<br />

• Tall, large stature<br />

• No significant agronomic<br />

weaknesses<br />
