Birgit

A Reliable Choice for the Feed Sector

The fodder bean variety 'Birgit' from the Nordic Seed A/S breeding house is a prime example of specialized Danish breeding, where the key priority is maximizing protein yield per hectare. In intensive livestock farming, where ration quality directly dictates feed conversion rates, this variety demonstrates high adaptability to temperate climates.

Agronomic Features and Morphology

The 'Birgit' plants are categorized as tall (stem height ranges from 81 to 120 cm). This morphology provides not only substantial biomass but also ease of mechanized harvesting, which is a critical factor for large-scale agricultural enterprises. The variety was developed by experts at P.H. Petersen Saatzucht Lundsgaard, whose breeding focus is on creating crops with high lodging resistance and uniform pod ripening.

Why Choose 'Birgit'?

• Productivity: The carefully selected genetic potential allows the variety to consistently deliver a high yield of grain rich in plant-based protein.
• Technology: The tall plant type promotes the formation of a robust stand, which is easier to harvest with a combine harvester when the header is set correctly.
• Origin Reliability: Direct links to the Danish breeding center Nordic Seed A/S ensure variety purity and compliance with the stated yield characteristics.

'Birgit' is an ideal solution for farms focused on establishing a high-quality internal feed supply. Unlike shorter or mid-maturing varieties, this option requires precise adherence to seeding density, which will allow the plant to unleash the full potential of its tall stems and achieve maximum returns from your fields.
