[QUOTE="Great In Grass, post: 7007381, member: 79"] [SIZE=7][B]DLF PLUS-grasses - When sustainable products increase agricultural productivity[/B][/SIZE] DLF is part of the global vision of a sustainable future as summarized in the UN Global Goals. It is a focal point in our green agenda to provide farmers worldwide with sustainable agricultural solutions. PLUS-grasses are one of many new sustainable products developed by DLF, that increase agricultural productivity and goes hand in hand with a climate-neutral future. DLF contribute to the green transition with research, that develops future forage solutions. PLUS-grasses are one of our solutions for farmers. These type of grasses are also well known under the Festulolium name. PLUS-grasses are advantageous, combining the traits of their parental components for improved performance. We offer two types of PLUS-grasses: Tall fescue PLUS and Ryegrass PLUS. Tall fescue PLUS varieties have an optimal growth for a longer period under dry conditions due to an extensive and deep rooting system. Ryegrass PLUS varieties have higher persistency and better stress tolerance that minimize the risk of crop loss. [SIZE=6][B]Food supply and security in a challenging environment[/B][/SIZE] Extreme weather conditions appear more and more regularly around the world. Dry periods during the growing season are not unusual. In some countries, droughts become more severe and longer lasting, which will aggravate the growth conditions for the crop. Under such conditions, farmers harvest will be at a higher risk creating food insecurity for both humans and animals. Therefore, farmers require crops that can maintain growth for a longer period under dry conditions. PLUS-grasses meet these criteria, and at the same time farmers can produce higher yield per hectare with a lower CO2 impact. [SIZE=6][B]Climate adapted PLUS-grasses provide more forage[/B][/SIZE] For more than 35 years, DLF’s plant breeders have innovated green solutions by crossing different types of grasses. With PLUS-grasses farmers will be able to: [LIST=1] [*][B]Achieve stability over the season [/B] PLUS-grasses have resilience to many external factors such as plant diseases and climate challenges like drought.

PLUS-grasses are marketed by DLF within two main groups: Ryegrass PLUS and Tall fescue PLUS. Festulolium is a forage grass developed by crossing Meadow Fescue (Festuca pratense) or Tall Fescue (Festuca arundinacea) with perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) or Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum). Festulolium combines robustness with a high persistence and stress tolerance including a fast growth and high productivity. [/QUOTE]
