Yield
In 1978, the average yield per hectare showed a very low average of 3678 KG/HA.
Flowering
The very spreading and late flowering, from the end of June to mid-July, took place in very poor conditions. The freshness leads to coulure and millerandage. A significant attack of gray rot is observed on the stalks at the start of flowering, which partially destroys a good number of bunches.
Harvest
The harvest having started on October 11, ends around October 15, due to a very low average weight. Only a third of a normal crop has been harvested.
