Produced in Lithuania

A fairly late, very productive, highly digestible timothy grass with good winter hardiness

• Fairly late variety with excellent stem digestibility
• Very productive and winterhardy
• Good regrowth capability
• High quality of the first cut fodder even in unfavourable harvesting conditions
• Also, the yield of later cuts is of superb feeding quality
• Very good seed productivity capacity

• Winters well
• Due to the good regrowth characteristics of this variety, yields are high
• Yields and quality of the following harvests are good also
• It is also characterized by good seed yields
• Grass digestibility is very good
• During the years of official research, no negative consequences of hibernation were observed
• The plants are very resistant, they are good even in the third and fourth year
• Suitable for intensive use, mowed or grazed at least 3 times a year
• Good resistance to lodging
• Very good disease resistance
• Perfect for sowing in mixtures with alfalfa and early clover
• Because of its good regeneration, it is an excellent component for productive long-term pastures
