Darnel Livree

Working with Livre Forage Grass

The Livre variety is a workhorse that performs consistently, forgiving minor agronomic slips while delivering stable yield.

Adaptability and Feed Value

The standout feature of Livre is its impressive recovery rate post-mowing. In conditions of intensive grazing or harvesting, this variety maintains a dense stand, preventing thinning over several years. Despite the characteristic slightly bitter taste of this type of forage, livestock find it highly palatable, and it ferments perfectly for silage or haylage.

Operational Notes

• Sowing: While the variety demands well-prepared soil, it rewards the grower by forming a thick, uniform turf that stands up well to pressure.
• Nutrient Response: Livre responds very well to nitrogen fertilization, allowing for precise control over regrowth intensity based on your feed requirements.

For those looking for a tried-and-tested solution that won't fail during wet springs or hot summers, Livre is a solid choice. It provides predictable, high-quality output without requiring overly complex management.
