Mendoza

The German Standard for Fodder Production

The 'Mendoza' ryegrass variety from the German breeding company Feldsaaten Freudenberger GmbH&Co.KG is a solution for those prioritizing intensive forage use. In the European market, where nutritional requirements for green mass and hay are constantly increasing, Freudenberger products have established themselves as a benchmark for reliability. 'Mendoza' is no exception: this variety is engineered to provide maximum yields per hectare under temperate climate conditions.

Agronomic Profile and Application

The primary specialization of this variety is the establishment of high-yielding hayfields and pastures. Unlike many varieties focused on landscape design, 'Mendoza' was developed with a primary focus on the biochemical composition of leaves and stems. For farming operations, this translates into:

• High protein concentration, essential for a balanced cattle diet.
• Excellent dry matter digestibility, which directly impacts milk production indices.
• Rapid regeneration after mowing, allowing for multiple harvest cycles per season.

Why Choose 'Mendoza'?

The success of this variety among farmers is driven by Feldsaaten Freudenberger's approach to breeding. The company is known for its strict quality control protocols regarding seed material. By choosing 'Mendoza', agricultural producers receive a predictable outcome: a robust root system, resilience to typical ryegrass stressors, and a high density of sward that effectively suppresses weed growth. It is a reliable 'workhorse' that justifies investments in seed stock through the longevity of the pasture and stable yield indicators over several years of use.
