DAPHNA
Proven performance across many years
- Still a very popular variety after 9 years!
- Consistent on farm performance
- Good canopy health
Characteristics in detail
For 9 years DAPHNA has delivered excellent yields in both RL trials and more importantly, on farms. DAPHNA has again set the benchmark for BCN protection without a yield penalty.
With very low early sown bolters and a good canopy late into the campaign DAPHNA is a great choice for growers wanting to spread their workload through the season. Through the past 8 years DAPHNA has proven to work across many farms and varying locations.
