HYKOR

Festulolium

Festulolium
HYKOR = Yield and Persistency!

Tall fescue type

HYKOR has early spring growth and early ear emergence

It combines quality and persistency
Increases the summer yield

Ratings Tall Fescue Type

Main traits for HYKOR is high yield potential, persistence,

Persistency drought resistance and tolerance to high level of subsoil
water. HYKOR can be used as substitute for meadow fescue
with markedly higher yield as result. Compared to meadow
Rust tolerance fescue and tall fescue, festulolium varieties like HYKOR have
better feeding value – measured by higher content of sugar
and energy.

Winter hardiness
Quality and Persistency

HYKOR is suitable for silage mixtures together with perennial

Spring growth (early) ryegrass, hybrid ryegrass and lucerne or red clover.
Festulolium increases the persistency of the mixture due to
the deeper root system and tolerance to dry conditions.
