Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is intended for use in hayfields and pastures, often used as part of grass mixtures. The plant possesses good winter hardiness, is adapted to northern regions, is distinguished by a high ability to regrow after mowing, and has a high energy value.

One of the distinctive features of the variety is the natural infection of the plants with the fungal endophyte Epichloë uncinata. Due to this, the variety is actively used in research to study the interaction of endophytes with the host plant, their influence on the resistance of the stand to pests, and competitive ability.
