Variety description

10 August 2026

The plant is of the semi-erect type and is distinguished by a high leaf-to-stem ratio. The variety is characterized by a high natural height one month after the start of spring regrowth and high regrowth energy after cutting.

Letizia possesses excellent resistance to winter frosts, which allows it to be grown in medium-high hilly areas. The variety is suitable for obtaining hay, green fodder, and producing grass meal, ensuring high yields of dry matter and protein production per hectare.
