Festulolium
Fusion XL
Festuloliums are derived from a cross between either Italian or perennial ryegrass and meadow fescue . Festulolium has the nutritive, palatability, and digestive qualities of ryegrass, while maintaining the durability and drought resistance of meadow fescue. Festuloliums display strong persistence, disease resistance and winter hardiness and have season-long productivity and high forage quality.
Festulolium 4N types deliver early growth, high yield, and persistence, while 6N types provide excellent forage quality and resilience. Both enhance pastures and hay fields with superior performance.
XL Brand products feature improved varieties from DLF, each tailored to provide enhanced value, farm flexibility and profit potential.
