Gefion/Lolium perenne Perennial Ryegrass 2n intermediate Improved spring window & leafy regrowth | | Persistence | Rust resistance | Ground cover | Yield |  |  |  |  |  |
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 headingFew 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.
