Tenho adds palatability, spring growth, health and winter hardi-

ness to the stand. Tenho has been selected for its high perfor-

mance, and strong range of characteristics. With good persis-

tence and late maturity, Tenho works great for haying and is

equally suited for pasture mixes and straight Timothy hay stands.

Tenho also offers good disease resistance, making it a great

choice for Timothy growers.

Tenho is highly adaptable timothy showing very good yield and

quality performance through Northern America, Scandinavia and

Russia. Tenho is intermediate to late in heading and has stable

yield distribution through the growing season. In Canadian regis-

tration trials it has outyielded the standard variety Climax with

10 % both in first cut and regrowth. The persistence of Tenho is

exceptionally high in conditions of cold winters due to excellent

winter hardiness. Energy value and protein content of Tenho is

high.
