Lolium perenne

Kentaur

Kentaur

Kentaur is a medium-late maturing tetraploid perennial ryegrass. It provides very high dry matter yield when used for conservation as hay or silage or when used as green forage. The forage quality is top level with all the benefits of a tetraploid such as easy silage thanks to the higher sugar content and better quality of aftermath cuts compared to diploids.
