Tetraploid with perennial characteristics

Bannfoot is a hybrid ryegrass which is listed since 2018 in the Irish Republic and Great Britain. This new variety is a result from the breeding station AFBI in Loughgall. This grass is a crossbreed with mostly perennial characteristics.

 

Number 1 digestible value

Tetraploïds have normally a higher digestibility than diploïds. That is clearly visible on the recommended list of hybrid ryegrass varieties in Great Britain. Bannfoot has the highest digesitiblity of all hybrid ryegrassses on the list!

 

Healthy crop

A high yield with a high digesitiblity is only worthful when the plant is healthy. When we have a look at the health profile from Bannfoot, we see great results. The list shows a really good score for mildew resistance and a great score for resistance against the mosaic virus.

Varieties of hybrid ryegrass are obtained by crossing perennial and Italian ryegrass. Three types can be distinguished: Italian types have an erect growth habit and give good spring growth, whereas perennial types form a denser sward and have later spring growth. Also intermediate types exist.
