Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue Grass Seed also known as K 31 was introduced into the United States from Europe in the early 1800's. Kentucky 31 Tall Fescue grass thus became established in pastures and and lawns across North America. While Kentucky 31 tall fescue has and is used extensively for live stock pasture grass, agronomists no longer recommend Kentucky 31 for livestock pastures due to the presence of endophytes. Endophytes are a naturally occurring fungus in fescue grass species that protect the grass from insects and disease. Kentucky 31 Tall fescue is now used primarily in turf and lawn grass applications.
