Festulolium

Perun

Perun

Perun sets the standards when it comes to high yielding fast establishing festulolium. Perun is a Tetraploid Festulolium derived from crosses between Italian ryegrass and Meadow fescue. From its ryegrass parent it gets fast establishment, forage quality and palatability. From its meadow fescue parent it gets a deeper root system and extended performance in summer heat and drought.
