Use
Replacement of Italian ryegrass and hybrid ryegrass in silage and aftermath grazing mixtures.
Yield
Dry matter yield similar to Italian ryegrass and higher than hydrid ryegrass in the first two years after sowing.
Stress and Drought Tolerance
More tolerant to drought than Italian or hybrid ryegrass.
Persistency
Similar to hybrid ryegrass but better than Italian ryegrass.
Growth Habit
Almost identical to Italian ryegrass with early spring growth and very quick aftercut recovery.
