Dactylis glomerata
Inavale
DLF’s new generation of Orchardgrasses were selected for the harsher North American climates. Selections on the initial material for adaptation to harsh climates, disease resistance, persistence and yield were made at the DLF research stations in Kentucky and Southern France. The result is a maturity range of well adapted, high yielding orchard grass varieties; Inavale represents the medium maturity.
