RUBICON

Tannin-containing biomass, strong in the field.

• High biomass yield after rapid youth development.

• Effective soil shading and weed suppression.

• Red blossom = tannin content.

• Significantly improved standability due to semi-leafless growth type.

• Very good suitability as a mixture partner for cereals, high competitive strength.

RUBICON: More dry matter per hectare.

In addition to its use as a catch crop, RUBICON's high DM-yield and tannin content make it particularly interesting for cattle feeding, as tannins improve their protein digestibility and have a positive effect on health. As a semi-leafless variety, RUBICON forms dense tangles and has excellent standability, making it very competitive against weeds and in mixtures with cereals. Its above-average DM-yields are the result of intensive breeding in the forage pea segment and make it interesting as an alternative forage crop.
