Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety is a tetraploid (4n) bred as a result of four selection cycles. The plant forms a dense, leafy sward with broad dark leaves and a semi-prostrate tillering type. It belongs to the early or medium-early maturity group and has a long development cycle.

The crop is distinguished by high productivity and a fast growth rate at the beginning of the season, ensuring good forage quality and high digestibility. The variety is characterized by good resistance to rust, lodging, and winter hardiness. High productivity potential is maintained during the second year of life, which makes the variety effective for rotational grazing systems.
