Darnel HELLEN

Italian breeding for high-quality forage production

The «HELLEN» ryegrass variety, officially registered in Ukraine in 2025, is a product of Italian breeding expertise (owned by CONTINENTAL SEMENSES LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY). This variety is designed for agricultural enterprises that prioritize stable yields of high-quality green mass and hay.

Crop utilization and quality

The primary value of «HELLEN» lies in the versatility of its harvest:

• Fresh consumption: the variety exhibits excellent palatability for grazing, maintaining nutritional value throughout the growing season.
• Forage processing: the crop is ideal for hay and haylage production. High stand density ensures optimal dry matter yield per hectare.
• Storage and transportability: due to the plant's balanced structure, the mown mass loses moisture quickly during drying, which minimizes the risk of spoilage during storage and simplifies logistics from the field to the feed facility.

The market appearance of the harvested mass is characterized by a high leaf-to-stem ratio, which directly influences protein content and the overall energy value of the feed. «HELLEN» is the choice for those focused on intensive livestock farming, where the quality of the diet determines herd productivity.
