Finally the breakthrough

Festulolium varieties are for a majority behaving as Italian ryegrass or Tall fescue (the parental species). LOFA behaves in many aspects like an italian ryegrass, in particular with very fast establishment and high 1st cut.

Performs when conditions are difficult

LOFA has shown to perform particularly well when conditions are sub-optimal due to different stress factors. This "wide" resistance is exactly what breeders and users are aiming for to secure forage production and quality.

Rust resistance and early spring window

The resistance to crown rust is excellent. The early spring growth allows a very large "spring window" with excellent forage quality.
