Quick Facts

ENDURANCE is a new orchardgrass variety that is capable of very high dry matter yields with good digestibility. It is able to withstand cold winter temperatures and shows a strong resistance to disease. Endurance exhibits an erect, open bunch type sod, making it more compatible (less competitive) with adapted legumes (alfalfa, clover, birdsfoot trefoil) than tall fescue.

 

ENDURANCE provides very high first cut yields and it will perform well in mixtures with other grasses and legumes, making it a very desirable item for custom blends.
