Firkin

Firkin

Firkin is a premier tetraploid and true Italian ryegrass variety meticulously crafted to deliver superior forage quality and impressive dry matter yield. A high vernalization threshold ensures optimal growth without heading in the year of seeding, guaranteeing a robust establishment phase with maximum productivity. Plants out-yield annual ryegrass and cereals, have exceptional disease resistance, and exhibit greater root mass to enhance soil stability and nutrient uptake. Excellent winter hardiness ensures a substantial forage crop in early spring following the sowing year. Firkin is ideal for silage, grazing, companion planting, or as a green manure crop.
