Winter hardiness of meadow fescue
Festuca pratensis Huds.
Meadow fescue possesses high frost resistance among perennial grasses, ensuring stand longevity of up to 10 years and early spring regrowth.
In the reference 12 varieties crop Meadow fescue, where this is mentioned in the description.
The winter hardiness of meadow fescue is evaluated on a 5- or 9-point scale based on field observations of overwintering and the monolith regrowth method. The crop is capable of withstanding critical temperatures down to -15.7°C, and survival rates of cultivars under artificial freezing exceed 70%.
This trait directly influences the productive longevity of the stand, allowing the crop to persist in the field for up to 10 years. The ability for intensive tillering allows for the restoration of crop density after winter damage, although winter hardiness may decrease due to under-sowing and ice crust formation.
