Calibra, Finland/Perennial ryegrass, tetraploid

The superior variety all over Europe

A winterhardy perennial ryegrass
Very persistent
Very high forage quality
Tetraploid, intermediate


Has Proved to Cope With all Kinds of Weather

CALIBRA has proved to do what no variety has ever done before: To be very productive under a long growing season as in UK, to be very disease resistant especially against rust in France and to be very winterhardy even in Russia!

A Very High Digestibility and Sugar Content

The digestibility of CALIBRA is high, which is related to the high sugar content of the variety. This gives a high feed intake under grazing and good quality when used for silage.

14 tonnes DM/ha in Finland

In Finnish trials Calibra yielded around 14 tonnes drymatter/hectare in the first year and 8-9 tonnes in the second. Good spring growth combined with intermediate heading is useful for early production, and the regrowth and production over summer is high.
