    Lolium westerwoldicum

    Westerwold/annual ryegrass

    Very high yielding variety with good persistency and resistances

    Dry matter yield
    The total yield of dry matter is high, right from the first cut.

    Lodging resistance
    The high lodging tolerance avoids loosing yield and makes harvest much easier. The forage quality (feeding quality) is also preserved.

    Several cuts possible
    The persistency is high for an annual ryegrass and if necessary the field can be cut several times.

    Excellent rust tolerance
    Preserve forage quality and yield due to a high rust tolerance.


     

    • Very high yielding
    • Very good disease tolerance
    • Good persistency
    • Ideal for cutting: Silage or hay
