Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is hexaploid and characterized by very fine leaves with virtually absent serrated ligules, which improves palatability for animals. The habit at heading is semi-erect, development after sowing is rated as medium, and heading time in the second year is early to medium.

The plant possesses a strong, deep root system, ensuring high drought and heat tolerance. The variety is characterized by good winter hardiness, high lodging resistance, and low susceptibility to rust. Due to a reduced silicic acid content, the variety has improved forage quality compared to traditional representatives of the species.
