Lolium perenne
                            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.
Key features
- Excellent resistance to leaf spot and crown rust
 - High sugar
 - Early start in spring
 - Cold and heat tolerant
