The potential of ×Festulolium as a forage species for Nordic conditions was investigated by comparing Norwegian candivars (LpFp-T, LmFp-T, LpFp-D-N, LpFp-D-UK) differing in parental origin and ploidy level with commercial cultivars of ×Festulolium (Hykor, Felopa), the parental species perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.) and meadow fescue (Festuca pratensis L.), and timothy (Phleum pratense L.). Plant development was observed as leaf:stem ratio and standardised development stage, and dry matter yield and digestibility were studied throughout two consecutive harvest seasons (2007 and 2008) as an effect of taking the first cut at four maturity stages, namely: 1) vegetative growth, 2) early heading), 3) heading and 4) anthesis, and then consecutive cuts throughout the season. Observations were made at two locations in Norway (61°N, 67°N). Leaf:stem ratio and standardised development stage were affected by maturity stage, and the loloid types of ×Festulolium (Felopa and the candivars) grouped between the parental species as to developmental pattern. The most extreme changes across maturity stages 1-4 in first cut were seen in the festucoid type Hykor (smallest) and in timothy (largest). Across maturity stages 2 and 3, for two years Hykor obtained higher dry matter yield than the other entries, but overall digestible dry matter yield was equal in Hykor and LpFp-T due to the better digestibility in LpFp-T. The lower dry matter yield obtained in ×Festulolium Felopa, the diploid candivars and LmFp-T was mainly due to winter damages. Consistency was found between the locations for the entries investigated. For Nordic growing conditions, in which winter hardiness is required for commercial cultivars, the amphitetraploid breeding approach of perennial ryegrass and meadow fescue should be pursued. It is the parental origin of the candivar LpFp-T, which was comparable to Hykor, the best of the commercial ×Festulolium cultivars, and performed better than the cultivars of the parental species.
