TAPPIANA
Lolium perenne
- Early start in spring with large spring window
- Excellent rust tolerance
- Late heading type, producing before summer drought
- Versatile for grazing and cutting
Large spring window
With almost 64 days from spring growth start to heading, TAPPIANA leaves a large window in the spring to obtain quality forage whether exploited for conservation or grazing.
The early start also leads to a total high yield of the spring and early summer cuts, ensuring a high production before eventual summer drought compromises the growth for the rest of the season.
Excellent disease tolerance
With a score of 7,7 TAPPIANA is one of the most rust tolerant varieties in the range of tetraploids heading from 3 days before to 3 days after TAPPIANA. The good tolerance to leaf spot and various diseases allows high palatability and forage quality throughout the season.
