A mid-early, high yielding tetraploid Italian ryegrass for forage or green manure

• Green mass yield – 13-15 t/ha
• Dry matter yield – 2-3 t/ha
• Seed yield – 0.10-0.14 t/ha
• Regenerates well both in spring and after cutting
• Winter hardy
• Resistant to lodging
• Suitable for haying or cover/catch crops
• The most suitable place in crop rotation is after root crops, rape and legumes
• Responds to increased nitrogen fertilization – yield increases
• High sugar content leads to good feed edibility
