Variety description

10 August 2026

The Kolumbus variety belongs to the meadow fescue crop and is used in agriculture as part of grass mixtures for pasture and haymaking purposes. In scientific circles, the variety is known as a model organism for studying the genome, DNA sequences, and interspecific hybrids, in particular with ryegrass.

This variety is characterized as late-maturing, possessing a late heading date, which has expanded the range of growing periods among varieties of this crop. In agronomic research, the variety demonstrates dry matter yield indicators under simulated pasture use conditions.
