Phleum pratense
Erecta
Erecta Timothy is a medium-late maturing variety known for its excellent palatability and digestibility, making it a top choice for high-quality forage systems. With strong regrowth after cutting and medium establishment, it provides consistent performance throughout the growing season. Erecta’s adaptability ensures steady yields, while its high persistence and winter hardiness make it especially suited for colder climates and long-term forage production. This variety offers medium drought tolerance and grazing tolerance, making it versatile for both hay and pasture use. Its late maturity ensures extended forage availability, and its reputation for palatability supports better livestock intake and performance.
