Festulolium

Festulolium is a high (sugar) energy grass that is obtained by crossing a ryegrass (perennial or an Italian) with a meadow fescue or tall fescue variety. Festuloliums like fertile soils and respond well to nitrogen. They are better than ryegrass in drought tolerance but not as good as fescues. They are excellent for silage or balage and also very good for grazing. Festuloliums work well in short rotations of 3 years or less. Festuloliums are successfully used to extend the growing season of hay fields and pastures.
