Upgrade your pastures now!

For decades tall fescues have been associated with poor digestibility and high yields – and increased digestibility with lower yield. Not so with Kora!

Exceptionally high digestibility

Swiss official trials show KORA has the highest digestibility!

KORA goes upstream

Despite the spectacular improvement of digestibility, KORA maintains high dry matter productivity typical of tall fescues.

A winner!

We will continue to be amazed by KORA. It is now being introduced in the USA and shows very promising results in a country where tall fescues are abundant.
