Phleum pratense L.

An early, high yielding timothy with good regrowth capacities

  • Early variety with very good regrowth capability
  • High total yields of green mass
  • High yields in second and third cut
  • Good winterhardiness
  • Excellent persistence
  • Well adapted to mixtures with grasses and clovers
  • A Norwegian breed, originating from the indigenous race of southern Norway
  • Slightly earlier than Tammisto II timothy, heading time is earlier
  • Days to heading (from May 1) – 44.4 (in Norway)
  • Early, excellent germination
  • High yields of green mass
  • Great yields also in the II, III years of cultivation
  • Good winter hardiness
  • Persistent
  • Annual average dry matter yield in official trials in Norway (average 9.53 t/ha):
    • in the first year – 11.71 t/ha
    • in the second year – 8.6 t/ha
    • in the third year – 7.27 t/ha
    • Annual average yield of dry matter in various climate zones – 6.74-9.24 t/ha
    • Seed yield potential (in Norway) – 710 (even up to 980) kg/ha
    • Average seed yield (in Sweden) – 405 kg/ha
    • High yields of I cut, but lower than that of the late variety Tammisto II
    • Feed value (D-index) of both cuts, I and II, is lower than that of Tammisto II
    • High yield of II cut and fast regrowth indicate that this is a more southern type variety
    • Injuries in winter – 5.5 %
    • DM yield of first cut – 5.258 t/ha
    • Dry mass in the 1st cut – 23.1 %
    • Dry matter yield in aftermath – 5,866 t/ha
    • Aftermath share from total DM harvest – 53 %
    • Total DM yield – 11,124 t/ha
    • D-value of I cut – 67.7 %
    • Protein content in I cut – 112 g/kg
    • D-value of II cut – 66.6 %
    • Protein content in II cut – 91 g/kg
    • Digestible yield (calculated from total yield and D-value) – very high (higher than that of Tammisto II) – 1st harvest – 3.510 t/ha, 2nd harvest – 3.845 t/ha, total harvest – 7.626 t/ha
    • Perfect for mixtures with grasses and clover
  • Dry mass yield in the second year of growth – 10.39-10.62 t/ha

  • Days to the first harvest – 46-77
  • Resistance to lodging – 9 points (out of 9)
  • Winterhardiness – 9 points (out of 9)
  • Growth intensity – 7-9 points (out of 9)
  • Number of cuts – 3
  • Protein content in dry matter – up to 15.1 %
