Cerise
- Sowing Time Late September to early November
- Grazing Seasons Winter
- Time To First Grazing Anytime after all herbicide grazing withholding periods are met. Typically 24-28 weeks to reach yield potential
Cerise is a recent breeding release from Florimond Desprez, with a uniform yellow/green tankard shaped bulb.
- True mono-germ cultivar
- High drymatter type (18-21%)*
- Approximately 40-50 % of bulb above ground
- Very good resistance to bolting
- Above ground colour: yellow/green
*Variation in DM % can occur under different sowing rate and/or environmental conditions. Northern North Island drymatters have consistently been lower than stated.
