Tenho is flexible. It is suitable for well-managed grazing, as well as cutting for hay or grass-silage. With its late maturing and high yields, Tenho is excellent for hay production. Tenho performs well in blends, for example with perennial ryegrass and white clover. As a pure stand, Timothy is ideal for haying, making it excellent for horse hay production.

High palatability and superior winter hardiness are Tenho's most important features. It does very well on wet, peaty and heavy textured soils. The establishment of this species is rather slow and summer production is often limited. Tenho tolerates cutting management well. Tenho can perform well under controlled grazing.

Seeding rate: 10-15 lbs / acre

In order to maximize the benefits of a high quality timothy, it should be managed well. Seed in a fine, well-prepared seedbed. Brillion seeders or broadcasting the seed followed by a cultipacker works best. If a regular drill is used, we suggest crossing the field twice, at an angle.
