[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 3393486, member: 79"] [B]Lofa, Fojtan, Mahulens, Perseus & Perun Advanced™ Grasses a recap.[/B] Advanced™ Grasses are created by crossing fescues with ryegrasses. The objective of this Advanced™ hybrid breeding is to create grass varieties with high forage quality combined with good persistence, stress tolerance and disease resistance. Yield increases of between 10% and 50% are common when DLF varieties of Advanced™ Grasses are tested in trials. Why are Advanced™ Grasses so successful? Intensive breeding for more than 40 years Greater tolerance to variations in climate, soil management etc. Yield improvement from crossing of two non-related species Development of types and varieties with different characters [B]FOJTAN and MAHULENA[/B] (Tall Fescue) are suitable for [B]silage mixtures[/B] together with perennial ryegrass, hybrid ryegrass and lucerne or red clover. The Advanced™ Tall Fescue increases the persistency of the mixture due to the deeper root system and [B]tolerance to dry conditions.[/B] They also show excellent forage quality. The varieties [B]PERSEUS and PERUN[/B] (Italian Ryegrass) have all the attributes of an Italian ryegrass but exhibit improved persistence and stress tolerance. They are ideal in short term mixtures of up to [B]3 years’ duration[/B] and are especially good companions for red clover. The variety [B]LOFA [/B](Hybrid Ryegrass) has the broadest appeal of all Advanced™ Grasses. It has all the attributes of a hybrid ryegrass but exhibits improved persistence and stress tolerance over standard hybrid ryegrass varieties. These characteristics make Lofa an ideal component in [B]medium term mixtures[/B] as its persistence, being similar to standard hybrid ryegrass, matches the expected duration of the vast majority of [B]medium term mixtures[/B] currently used in the UK. New for 2017 [B]Becva[/B] (Festulolium), the result of an Italian ryegrass crossed with a tall fescue and backcrossed several times to the Italian parent. The result is an appearance like an Italian ryegrass with improved characteristics. Very high DM yield +8% higher dry matter production was the result of the official Czech testing, compared to the Italian ryegrass standard variety LOLITA. Top forage quality with a good disease resistance (rusts) and a high sugar content, BECVA produces forage of very high nutritional quality.
