Gefion/Lolium perenne

Perennial Ryegrass 2n intermediate
Improved spring window & leafy regrowth

Rating
PersistenceRust resistanceGround coverYield

Large spring window
Very leafy regrowth
High drymatter through the season
Excellent persistence


Early start & late heading

With earlier spring start than the standard and later heading the gain is +3 days in the length of the period where the grass remains of excellent feeding quality. This means easier and less risky forage production.

Reduced aftermath heading

Few stems in the regrowth and good groundcover allows efficient grazing with maximum exploitation of the production.

Diploid - high drymatter

Gefion is a diploid variety with high drymatter content for easier conservation.
