PREVAL
Festuca pratensis
Profile
PREVAL is a Meadow fescue with great yields, especially in the characteristics total dry matter yield and dry matter yield in the following cuts. This is achieved by a strong mass formation in the beginning. Further factors for the high total yields are the lower susceptibility to rust, a great sward density and a high endurance.
National listing/Official recommendation:
BE, CA, CH, CZ, DE, FR, LU, NL
Sowing rate: 30-35 kg/ha
- balanced yield variety
