Profile
KAIMAN is a diploid and late perennial ryegrass variety. The variete KAIMAN combines the properties of above-average DM yields, good rust resistance and forage quality. The breeding background of this variety ensures good forage quality due to the extremely low inflorescence formation in the offspring. KAIMAN is one of the few varieties to be awarded with the DSV Milk Index forage quality seal.
