Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for creating lawns in residential areas, parks, sports fields, and commercial territories, as well as for sod production and soil erosion control. It can be used both in pure stands and in mixtures with Kentucky bluegrass or perennial ryegrass.

The plant possesses a fine leaf texture and the ability to tiller aggressively, which contributes to the formation of dense turf and rapid recovery from damage. The variety is characterized by good shade tolerance and high wear tolerance.

Excellent resistance to brown rust is noted, which is an important advantage in hot and humid climatic conditions. The variety demonstrates high turf quality indices in field trials in transition climatic regions.
