Perun Festulolium is an inter species cross combining 80% Italian
Ryegrass with 20% Meadow Fescue
• Perun offers the quality trait from the Italian ryegrass plus the
adaption and root depth of the Meadow Fescue
• This allows for a wider adaption of soils and rainfall zones that in
the past have not been able to sustain straight Italian Ryegrass
• Perun has a longer summer shoulder that provides good quality
when feed quality traditionally drops
• With Perun being a fescue cross it prefers to be sown in warmer
soil conditions experienced in the early autumn or break
• Perun can be utilised as a spring sowing option for a summer
feed option in good rainfall or irrigated areas
• Excellent option for stitching into existing pastures such as Lucerne
• Perun has the ability for low transpiration rates through the leaf
surface over the summer period therefore giving it summer toughness
• Very Good Disease Resistance
• Great heat and cold tolerance unlike Italian Ryegrasses
• Recommended sowing with red and white clover to extend the
season and animal performance |
