FRRSC 1

Biological Potential and Breeding of 'FRRSC 1' Bromegrass

The German breeding school of Feldsaaten Freudenberger GmbH&Co.KG focused on longevity and high regrowth capacity when developing the 'FRRSC 1' variety. As a representative of perennial forage grasses (Bromus inermis), this bromegrass is critical for building a stable fodder base in temperate climate regions.

Technical Aspects of Adaptability

• Morphological Structure: The variety exhibits stand height variability from 60 to 100 cm, depending on nitrogen fertilization intensity and moisture availability. This optimal height range ensures a balance between biomass volume and fiber quality.
• Forage Value: High leaf-to-stem ratio makes 'FRRSC 1' a versatile tool for both hay production and intensive grazing systems.
• Agrotechnical Plasticity: The perennial nature of the variety allows it to form a resilient turf capable of withstanding high livestock grazing pressure without damaging the root system.

The practical value of 'FRRSC 1' lies in its rapid regrowth after mowing or grazing cycles. Thanks to a deep and vigorous root system, the variety efficiently utilizes moisture from lower soil horizons, maintaining green biomass even during summer droughts. This makes it an optimal component for long-term managed pastures.
