Very high rust tolerance
YOLANDE has proven very rust tolerant in the official French trials with a score at top level competing even with the best tetraploids.
The tolerance to Xanthomonas and Drechslera leaf spot is also good.
Leafy forage
YOLANDE has very few stems in the sowing year, making it a true "Italian" with also a limited aftermath heading the following year.
The leafy growth enables conservation or grazing with better forage quality.
High yielding
Despite the limited stem formation, YOLANDE produces high quantities of dry matter.
The excellent quality ensures the best animal performance.
