Narrative
Most useful for pasture in mixtures with bromegrass or orchardgrass. Outyields common ladino and is superior in winterhardiness and in tolerance to leafhopper damage and midsummer drouth. Produces more forage than common ladino and persists over a wide range of conditions. Relatively shallow root system best adapted to fertile, well-drained soils with good water-holding capacity.
