Quick facts 

Hykor is noted for its high yield potential, persistence, drought resistance and tolerance to high levels of subsoil water. Hykor can be used as substitute for meadow fescue with markedly higher yields. When compared to meadow fescue and tall fescue, these festulolium varieties have better feeding value – measured by higher content of sugar and energy.

 

Quality and persistency

Hykor is suitable for silage mixtures together with perennial ryegrass, hybrid ryegrass and alfalfa or red clover. The festulolium increases the persistency of the mixture due to the deeper root system and tolerance to dry conditions.
