Dorine comes from a polycross of plants selected in Barenbrug’s breeding lines with special focus on persistency, autumn re-growth, lodging resistance and disease tolerance.

 

This semi-dormant variety is very high yielding at each cut. Dorine can be used under frequent cutting system (6 –7 cuts / year ) or in normal frequency of cuts (4-5 cuts). Dorine has a very regular yield for all the cuts and has a wide adaptation. It has a very good diseases resistance and excellent persistency. Dorine is known to be a very palatable variety with high feeding value.

 

Trials result in France :

Dorine was released from Barenbrug’s breeding programme for semi-non-dormant varieties and shows high adaptation to the South European climatic conditions. Dorine has been tested in France thoroughly with good results:

Lucerne

Lucerne (or alfalfa) is a deep rooting crop, highly suitable for cultivation in dry areas. Livestock farmers mainly use lucerne for high protein hay and silage production or for direct feeding to cattle. Another application is processing of artificially dehydrated lucerne.
