Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for industrial biomass production. The plant is a perennial optimized for maximum productivity and is considered as an alternative to corn for the needs of biogas plants.

A key characteristic of the variety is non-invasiveness: it does not form active root suckers and produces virtually no seeds, which prevents uncontrolled spread. When cultivated, the variety is suitable for harvesting at a dry matter moisture content of 28–35% with the possibility of 2–3 mowings per season.

When harvesting green mass as silage with a cutting length of 6–8 mm, a density of 300–500 kg/m³ is achieved. The variety is a specialized experimental form for energy use and is not intended for ornamental gardening.
