» 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 />
