Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is erucic acid-free and contains a low amount of glucosinolates. It is characterized as leafy and medium-tall, with up to 80% of the total plant mass consisting of leaves. When sown in summer, the variety is not prone to rapid stem formation, which allows for the production of high-quality fodder.

The plant possesses a developed taproot, which improves soil structure. The variety is used for livestock grazing in the autumn period, and is also used as an intermediate crop for nitrogen accumulation and combating soil compaction. The recommended seeding rate is 10–15 kg/ha at a sowing depth of 1–2 cm.
