Overwintering of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) was compared with that of timothy (Phleum pratense), meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis), perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) and cocksfoot (Dactylis glomerata) under a three-cut silage regime at Mikkeli, Finland. The trial was established in 1993 and winter damage (WD) was assessed over the subsequent five winters. During the 5-year (1993-98) study perennial ryegrass had significantly higher WD%, 43% (P<0.001) than tall fescue (2%).
