Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for establishing turf on sports facilities and park areas, as well as for stabilizing slopes and areas prone to erosion. The plant forms a dense sod and maintains an attractive appearance during the autumn period.

The plant possesses high resistance to rust and leaf spot. It demonstrates excellent adaptation to arid climate conditions, high temperatures, and coastal regions, and also tolerates moisture deficiency well.

The variety is being studied in the context of adaptation to soil salinity and the expression of allelopathic properties. Depending on the conditions, the variety may demonstrate a specific reaction to extreme salinity levels at the seed germination stage.
