Late type of festuloliumPERSEUS is a crossing between italian
ryegrass and meadow
fescue and belongs to the ryegrass type of festulolium. The
result is a variety with a very vigorous growth both in
spring and after cutting, but at the same time also with a
good persistence.
For cutting purposesPERSEUS belongs to the same group of
festulolium as PAULITA
and PERUN, but with 4-5 days later ear emergence. This
makes PERSEUS very well suited for mixtures for
intermediate and late cutting.
Fine forage qualityPERSEUS is participating in trials in many
European
countries and the results show very interesting properties.
Due to the late ear emergence the feeding value and energy
concentration of PERSEUS is very high.
