Profile
MIRTELLO is an early tetraploid Perennial ryegrass, that is particularly characterized by its increasing relative total yield level over the years. Supported by its low tendency for winter damage, MIRTELLO is consequently attested a very high persistence. Overall, MIRTELLO is a very robust and healthy, rust resistant variety, which additionally has the special suitability for difficult peat soils. It is widely recommended for both, permanent grassland and ley farming.
