Variety description

10 August 2026

Diploid type variety, characterized by high uniformity of the stand and leaf width. The plants have a rolled leaf blade, reach a height of 50–60 cm, and possess a developed rhizome system. The variety is distinguished by high winter hardiness and good adaptation to various soil types, including poor and dry ones.

Inflorescence emergence time is early or medium. Resistance to root rots is high, and to rust is medium. The variety possesses high seed productivity and uniformity of seed ripening, which facilitates harvesting by combine.

Variety for universal use: thanks to the density of the turf and thin leaf texture, it is used in lawn applications, including shaded areas. Also suitable for creating pastures with moderate grazing and for reinforcing slopes and embankments for reclamation purposes.
