Profile

The new DSV variety TRAVISTO is one of the few diploid late varieties with a peat soil suitability on the German federal plant variety list. Besides the good dry matter yield, especially in the first cut, TRAVISTO is marked by a very good sward density, which together with high plot coverage and persistence even on difficult sites led to the special peat soil suitability. Additional good notes for rust resistance and inflorescence formation make TRAVISTO an enriching variety with excellent suitability for pasture use.
