Natured "Winter growth",
Medium early variety,
Needs vernalization,
Scape is sturdy and has a very good resistance to lodging,
High yielding potential in irrigated areas,
Tillering ability of Genesi is high, it’s recommended that quantities are 200-220 kg/ha with seeding machine, using more seeds causes sibling spikes to remain small.
