Timothy UULA

Phleum pratense L.

A late and very productive, extremely winter hardy timothy grass with good regrowth capacity and high digestibility

This was the best overwintering variety of timothy in Finnish official tests. The plants of this variety are very resistant, they grow well even in the third and fourth year of use

  • Fairly late variety
  • Long stem and high leafiness of the sward
  • Protein content is highensuring high milk production of lactating cows
  • Good lodging resistance and moderate regrowth
  • Very good seed production capacity
  • Good resistance against rust and other leaf diseases
  • Quite late
  • High yields
  • Stems – long, resistant to lodging
  • Foliage of the plants – high
  • Winters very well
  • Regenerates well
  • Plants – resistant to rust and other leaf diseases
  • Very productive in a wide range of growing conditions
  • Good seed yields
  • The quality of the fodder from the first cut is extremely good
  • And the yields and quality of the following cuts are good
  • Protein content – ​​high
  • Digestibility – very good
  • Very suitable for feeding dairy cows
  • Total annual yield – 10,718 t/ha
  • Total annual protein yield – 1,424 t/ha
  • Injuries during winter – 2.2 %
  • Yield of the 1st year – 11,526 t/ha
  • Yield of the 2nd year – 10,371 t/ha
