WINNETOU is a late heading Timothy with high dry matter yields and significantly improved forage quality. It will give high yields in each harvest all season long. It has a low tendency to produce stems after the first harvest in the spring and is resistant to disease. Winnetou exhibits good winter hardiness and is a top choice for pasture renovation.

 

WINNETOU is best suited for intensive production systems such as intensive grazing or multiple hay cuttings. It is recommended in mixtures with legumes such as alfalfa (well drained soil), red clover, or birdsfoot trefoil.
